Anyone know anything about genetic testing?

I’m tempted to get a National Geographic geographic test… As a female, I understand that all I can find out is female lineage. I might pay for my male cousin’s too to see where the male side of my family came from. (our grandfathers were brothers.)

Yes. You have your mother's mtDNA and your father's yDNA, you will pass on your and your mother's mtDNA to your daughters...you will not pass on your fathers DNA. Your brothers will pass on his DNA but not their mothers DNA..

Many of us here at FR had our DNA checked almost a decade ago and our DNA data was included in the National Geographic TV special titled "The Journey Of Mankind." Click on the link below to see:

Looks like the link above died. I'll try posting again:

BTW, I just submitted another sample for an expanded DNA test. These original tests were 12 marker tests and I'm upgrading to a 37 marker test at the request of my 'surname DNA project' group.
