Your husband can do the mtDNA test. Mitochondria are passed down from a mother to ALL her children, but only the female children grow up to be moms to pass it down.
So your husband has is mom's mtDNA and he can take the test to trace his mother's mother's mother's line (bottom of his pedigree chart). Now, if you are talking his dad's mom, that's a different case and no, he's not the right candidate for that line.
