Quarterman DNA Project
yDNA
The yDNA tests work on the y chromosome that is the sex gene passed down only to male descendants, so test samples for yDNA must come from men or boys. Women can participate by getting a brother, uncle, father, grandfather, or great-grandfather to provide a sample.Q: What about all the people who consider themselves Midway descendants and Quarterman relatives who do not have an unbroken male line of descent?
A: Use genealogical research to find relatives who are descended from the same Quarterman male ancestor that you are, and persuade one of them to provide a sample. Or participate in the mtDNA testing.
