Mitochondrial DNA tests only apply to the maternal side but Ancestry does not offer that test at this time . . . only autosomal tests and that applies to both maternal and paternal sides. Males can also do a yDNA test that only applies to the paternal side. You might want to consider building a tree on Ancestry or on WikiTree. You might also want to put your DNA results in other databases: GEDmatch, FTDNA, MyHeritage - all for free. -----Original Message----- From: GENEALOGY-DNA [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kitty Cusick Sent: Monday, December 4, 2017 8:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DNA] Dna Testing is it maternal or paternal Ernest I don't have a tree online.. I have it all on my computer. And backed up on 3 external hard drives. Its not in tree form but in folders by name. I just needed to know if it was from both parents. Because I was told the dna could only be done by the Maternal side of the family. I wanted to know if it was both or maternal only. I know who is who by the areas they come from Thanks for your reply. Kitty On 5 Dec. 2017 12:47 pm, "Ernest Kapphahn" <[email protected]> wrote: > Both sides.
