Hello Charles, Are they offering a kit for women, at the sale price, or is this offer just for male Bowles? Have a blessed and wonderful 4th of July!

They are offering the mtDNAPlus kit at a reduced price. Since our project is a Bowles project and traces ancestry through the male Y-DNA, I have no way of reporting mtDNA results on our web site. However, that does not preclude someone from ordering the mtDNAPlus kit though our project. Your results would still be sent to you privately. Once again, just so we are clear on this, the Y-DNA is passed from father to son; daughters don't receive it. On the other hand, the mtDNA is passed from mother to children, but only the daughters can pass it on to their children. Thus it is a tool for tracing your maternal line: you to your mother to her mother, etc. If you are interested in ordered any of these kits, contact me privately or visit the join page.
