Joan - it is possible to test the female side. I joined one for my Waller side - just a general testing that was free. If you go the Family DNA site, there are projects for females. Here is the link to the site I used to participate. The second one is for the Family Tree DNA project. Hope it helps and good luck. _http://www.smgf.org/index.jspx_ (http://www.smgf.org/index.jspx) _http://www.familytreedna.com/(ahzxx0555lyiahv20e0zwm55)/default.aspx_ (http://www.familytreedna.com/(ahzxx0555lyiahv20e0zwm55)/default.aspx) Joanne in AZ (I seek dead people).
