DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT DNA?
DNA Double Helix
By "right" DNA, I mean that you have Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA; following direct or "pure" paternal lines from the father – patrilineal) or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA; following direct or "pure" maternal lines from the mother – matrilineal), or both, from direct-line ancestors on my family tree (see List of Key Common Ancestors below) and yet I (and my father) haven't inherited it. Check out Are You Any of the Following (below) for who I'm looking for (your actual names aren't shown – you are identified as "granddaughter of XXX", "son of XXX", etc.) and How I Can Help You to see if I have the "right" DNA for you.
I'd love to hear from anyone below who may be willing to provide a cheek swab or saliva sample (it depends on the testing facility) for Y-DNA and mtDNA to expand our common family lines, which I may be willing to "sponsor" (i.e., pay for). See Genetic Genealogy for background information. You will retain "ownership" and control of your DNA and have full access to all the results, thereby allowing you to continue your genealogy research independently of me. Even if my family mtDNA and Y-DNA aren't "right" for you (even though we are related), I hope you will be altruistic – and also that some other kind soul will do the same for you, for the branches you are particularly interested in. I've started to create a Haplogroup Pedigree Chart, but would like to expand it.
I also urge all my newly found relatives to have their DNA tested, even distant cousins, as segments of DNA can be carried across multiple generations, and importantly, different siblings and cousins can have inherited different autosomal and X-chromosome DNA segments, even when they have the same common ancestor – so we all need each other (and our close relatives from both paternal and maternal lines) in order to be able to identify which segments of our autosomal DNA have been inherited from which branch of the family. You won't need to pay more than about $99 or £60 (+ shipping) – and if we are blood relatives and you decide to take the 23andMe test (see below), I'll be happy to refer you, but will give you the $10 Amazon.com Gift Card they provide in their Social Referral Program, so overall it will only cost you $89 – and if you buy multiple kits for other family members, a 20% discount is given on all except the first, taking the cost down to $80/kit! Contact Me for a referral, indicating how we are related (I'm not offering this to people I don't know or genetic strangers and anyway, this falls outside their Terms and Conditions) – I'm afraid you will have to be a US Resident and at least 18 years of age for this (again, according to the Terms and Conditions). See Invitation to DNA Testing for how autosomal DNA testing can help with genealogy research.
Don't hesitate to Contact Me if you have any questions and check out My Experiences with DNA Testing Companies, Ethical Considerations and Questions & Answers, which hopefully will allay any concerns you may have and help you decide which company is the best for you.
