So, I think I have this right. Since my Islay connection is through my father's mother, DNA comparison in this line is impossible, right?

Constants, however, are the father-to-son yDNA and the mother-to-daughter mDNA. That makes these the only readily useful tools for parent-to-child lineage research. Some of the other DNA may help establish a population group, say, where a region is occupied mainly by people with certain physical characteristics. -----Original Message----- From: sct-islay-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sct-islay-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of em.paton86 via Sent: Thursday, November 26, 2015 11:23 AM To: J&K Herron; sct-islay@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLAY] DNA comparison with different testers ------------------------------- Quoting the entire text of a previous message in a reply is poor netiquette.
