Hi Sunnylew,
I dont know enough to say - but I do know that with a male than can can test for the mothers side which traces her female genetics from her direct line of females. MtDNA is also passed down from generation to generation unchanged. So we share the same mtDNA-type as our mother, our maternal grandmother, our maternal great-grandmother and so on. In fact the exact same mtDNA code will track our direct genetic line back until the point at which a natural mutation in the mtDNA code occurred To have male DNA tested will give you both genetic origin history of their previous lineage. With a female they are limited to be only able to test for the female line. Y chromosome is passed down exclusively from father to son, the most popular ancestry tests are Y chromosome (Y-DNA) testing and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing which test direct-line paternal and maternal ancestry, respectively. The DNA tests for example, to determine a person's comprehensive genetic make-up and/or ethnic origins, so if you do have the halogroup for aboriginal genetics it should be able to be detected. If you are a female and you use your DNA it will show your mothers, her mother, her mother and her mother so forth and not the fathers mother. So if it is your mother then it will show only her direct line of females. It you have a male it will show both. I think I am probably confusing you! Sorry! Good luck again.
