Yes, sorry...I misread your post and thought that your father had done 23andMe...in which case they assign some sort of yDNA "haplogroup" for paternal line (if you are a male) and mtDNA haplogroup for your maternal line. But it's not the same yDNA test that you would get by testing STR markers at FamilyTreeDNA. I've found all my 23andMe predicted haplgroups to be consistent with FT DNA...at least in a gross sense.
