Your reply: Sally: If your grandson is a direct male Hamilton descendant, i.e., if his father, grandfather, great grandfather, etc., are all Hamilton's, then yes, he could supply the sample for testing. Gordon Hamilton Gordon, my grandson is a an Hamilton descendant of my side, female. I am a direct descendant but don't understand it all. Is this gene only passed on to males. His father is not a Hamilton.\ So I guess not. Thank you for taking the time to answer. Sally Hamilton-Gooslin
