Here is a link to share with anyone wondering what the DNA thing is all
about, is it worth it, what can you learn, etc. The first story centers
on mtDNA, which traces the maternal line, but the idea is the same for
YDNA testing as well. Imagine having the satisfaction Bill Hurst
experiences in this story. That is why we are passionate about DNA
genealogy. The second story is about YDNA. Then there is a segment on
the Sally Hemmings - Thomas Jefferson DNA investigation, and more.
Enjoy it all.
Men descended from a common ancestor on their paternal line will have
the same YDNA. Women descended from a common ancestor on their
maternal line will have the same mtDNA. The number of possible
combinations is so great, that nearly no one else will, thus you can
identify those who are your close cousins and ancestors.
