It explains the testing and how it must go. http://www.familytreedna.com/ This is taken from Family Tree DNA frequently asked questions 13. I am female and another potential relative is male. How can we make a DNA connection using Family Tree DNA? There are two ways to answer this genealogical question. Ideally a match would best be done by testing a known male member of your biological family, (brother, father or first cousin), against the potential male relative. This is our Y chromosome test which would allow us to also search for the Cohanim gene. The other method, (not as straight forward), utilizes the mother who passes her mtDNA to both male and female offspring and this can be checked using mtDNA or mitochondrial DNA. A match between the mtDNA of a male potential relative and your mtDNA would mean you have a common female ancestor. A male's mtDNA comes only from his mother and is not passed on to his offspring. This is our Maternal Match. I hope this answers your question. The link above should answer any other questions you have.
