Kay that was the clearest I have ever seen it explained. Thank you. I think what your saying is: Malkijah's MATERNAL Line: Mary Elizabeth WILLIAMS ---------------------------------------------- Generations: 1. Unk WILLIAMS-->> [ only his sons will have yDNA ] - 2.

But I am not sure you have the Maternal Line figured out. Your brother's Maternal Line ends with him. If you are full brother and sister, Sheryl, you are the one who has your mother's female DNA, called "mtDNA". The daughter has only the "mtDNA". The son has both his father's (yDNA) and his mother's (mtDNA). "With or from" the son's DNA sample both yDNA and mtDNA can be tested. But the son cannot pass on his mother's mtDNA. The son passes on only his father's yDNA and only to his sons. Back to the daughter, she never receives her father's yDNA, and she receives only her mother's mtDNA. And the daughter passes on only her mtDNA to both her sons and daughters. But remember the sons cannot pass on any mtDNA.
