Theodore, the type of DNA project is a y-chromosome dna project.Only males have a y-chromosome, so it wouldn't work to have a female in the line, like your mother.Of course your mother carries some of her father's dna, and you some of your mother's, but y-chromosome dna can only be passed through the males.Did your mother have any brothers?If Percy has a son or grandson through a son, they could join our project.You would then know your Ream ancestor's dna profile, even though you don't carry it. It might help you determine an ancestor some day.Do you come from the Lancaster Co. PA Ream family?
