Hi Nancy,
Every one caries the Mt-DNA from their mother but only daughters can pass it on. Your Uncle carries the MT-DNA from his mother (Your Grandmother). You can test him for MT- DNA only. Any MT-DNA test will be fine, there are no special tests for male for female testing of MT-DNA it is the same test. I do not think the MT-DNA test is on sale but the web site says it is $149 for the MT-DNA plus test (tests HVR1 & HVR2).

Hi Rick, This is what I'm trying to figure out. I figured my Uncle Johns Y-DNA will be the same as my brothers but it's my Uncles MT-DNA that I want so I can have my paternal grandmothers MT-DNA. But I don't see a test here for MT-DNA ONLY for a male.......am I missing something? My grandmother, Maria de Castro Cardoza Baptista had only 2 sons and my Dad is deceased and my Uncles 86 so I thought I'd better test it while I can. I'd much rather pay for only his MT-DNA if possible. Is it? The only other thing would be that this is a Y-37,,,,I had Y-37 done on my brother and if this was Y-67 with my-dna it would really give me additional info but it isn't! I appreciate all feedback since I only have til midnight to get this order submitted unless I wait til Dec. Thanks for the help, Nancy Jean _____ From: rfrancispimen...@comcast.net To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Update: Family Tree DNA's Sizzling Summer Sale Now Extended! Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2010 19:48:38 -0400 Hi Nancy, I see no need to test your uncle's Y-DNA as it should be the same as your brothers. By testing your uncles Mt-DNA you will get your grandmothers line DNA. This is more important especially if you have no Aunts or daughters of your aunts.

Hi Cheri, Before I place my order I want to be sure that I know what I'm doing. I've had my MTDNA tested which gives my mothers female line.....I've had my brothers YDNA tested which gives my fathers male line.....since my father is deceased I've asked his brother, my 86 yr old uncle to take the test.....if I order the Y-DNA 37 with mtDNA, will I find out my paternal grandmothers female line DNA?
