I assure you I'm still learning too.

"The type of DNA test you can take depends on your gender. The Paternal Lineage test analyzes DNA found on Y-chromosome which is present only for males."

I may have made a mistake here and it is because my son obtained his mother's mtDNA from himself (his mother died when he was young) and I just assumed that a female could do the same with the yDNA...apparently not, my error, sorry.

My yDNA is R1b1c (Danish) and my mtDNA is 'V' as are 52% of the Skolt Sami (Laplanders) of northern Finland.

Everyone say it with me...

Southerngl -

They’re right. You need a male of the direct line (father to son, father to son, father to son) that you want tested for the paternal DNA.

I would recommend obtaining the permission and collusion of one of your father’s brothers if he has any still alive. If he has more than one, and you’re unsure about your grandmother’s fidelity, you may have have them all tested. (Okay, bad joke. Sorry.)

But really, if you have a male cousin whose father was your father’s brother, they would also be a male of the direct line of descent, and their y-chromosome would work for your purposes. But really, you’d be best off with talking one of your uncles into participating in the DNA testing program. And while you’re at it, you may want to get your mother’s paternal DNA tested by talking to one of her brother’s into joining the same program to have their DNA tested.

Hey thanks! I never thought about my mother’s brother. I know mine was very limited. I never thought about my mother’s brother though. And that joke about my grandmother wasn’t too far off. There are a couple of uncles there are questions about (sadly, hehe). But I know of two who look so much like my grandfather, I’d bet she hadn’t gotten naughty when they were conceived. ;o)

And so now Blam you can test to see if you are also Pictish and cover yourself with woad.

What we really want to know is if he enjoys sitting around in a cave and grooving with several species of small furry animals... /grin

I’m feeling blue today. Am I a Pict?

Or he can get himself an Australian Cattle Dog and call himself The Woad Warrior.

I can’t believe it took 26 posts before the Pink Floyd reference...we must be the only “Old folks” on this thread...
