Hi, I paid to get mtDNA done because I wanted to find out about my mothers lineage. She was second generation American. Her grandparents were from Ireland. There are over 4,000 matches and none that have the surnames I am searching, Penny, Donnelly and Condron. There are all kinds of nationalities on that list of over 4,000 matches...Mexican, Polish, German, Russian, just to name a few...but few Irish...I paid over $300 for this and still have no matches... If you want to help the research get it done, it is free. Rhoda **************Start the year off right.
