Hi Patsy, You need to find a *male* in your line who is a SPIVEY - that would be your Granddad Spivey or one of his SONS or grand SONS. DNA for Spivey would be on a Y chromosome which only MALES have. (Boys are XY - x from Mom and Y from Dad; Girls are XX - x from Mom and X from Dad; therefore Dad's determine the sex of the child).
