Yes - the Y chromosone is passed on from father to son and this is the most opular as it matches the surname inheritence from (legitimate!) father to son. You can have mitochondrial DNA analysis which is passed on from mother to child - this is what Brian Sykes used to identify the Seven Daughters of Eve from whom he suggests 95% of Europeans are descended. Many of the testing companies will measure mtDNA.
