DNA

DNA quick reference

• Autosomal DNA, test for both males and females to find both their mother's and father's DNA lineage and cousins. All males and females get 1/2 their DNA from their mother and 1/2 their DNA from their father. Therefore, all males and females get 1/4 of their DNA from each grandparent, 1/8 from each great grandparent, etc.

• MtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA), test for both males and females to get their mother's mother's mother's etc. line. Males and females get MtDNA from their mother only.

• YDNA, test for males only (males have an X chromosome and a Y; females have 2 X chromosomes). The YDNA test will get their father's father's father's etc. line. Males get a Y chromosome from their fathers only and fathers pass a Y chromosome to their sons only.

• X Chromosome, part of the Autosomal DNA, males have one X chromosome and females have 2 X chromosomes. Not to be confused with Mitochondrial DNA. Males get an X chromosome from their mother only, while females get an X chromosome from both their mother and father. Fathers pass an X chromosome only to their daughters and mothers pass an X Chromosome to their sons and daughters.

• Beginners Guide to Genetic Genealogy by Kelly Wheaton, great resource and easy to understand.

• ISOGG - International Society of Genetic Genealogy's Beginners' Guides to Genetic Genealogy

DNA Testing Companies

• 23andMe.com, one test available for both males and females that tests all of the following: Autosomal DNA (males and females), YDNA (males only) and Mitochondrial DNA (males and females) and health.

• AncestryDNA, one test available for both males and females, tests autosomal DNA only, to get both your mother's and father's DNA lineage and cousins.
