Holly... How much does the DNA test cost and how is it done? Thanks...
They have different levels depending on how many Markers you have tested and
if you do Y-DNA only or both the Y-DNA and the mtDNA. The Y-DNA "starter"
kit is around $99, I think. That is how much it was 3 years ago when we did
my father's test.
Y-DNA is males only and tracks the direct paternal line --- father to son.
(Like a traditional surname.)
mtDNA is both males and females and tracks the direct maternal line --
mother to child.
The test is a cheek-swap. There is no blood taken. It doesn't hurt any
more than brushing your teeth.
