Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - What is Your Matrlineal Line?

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - What is Your Matrlineal Line? 

 From Randy Seaver at   Genea-Musings

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:

1) List your matrilineal line - your mother, her mother, etc. back to the first identifiable mother. Note: this line is how your mitochondrial DNA was passed to you!

2) Tell us if you have had your mitochondrial DNA tested, and if so, which Haplogroup you are in.

          

No, not yet.

3) Post your responses on your own blog post, in Comments to this blog post, or in a Status line on Facebook or in your Stream at Google Plus.

4)  If you have done this before, please do your father's matrilineal line, or your grandfather's matrilineal line, or your spouse's matrilineal line.

5)  Does this list spur you to find distant cousins that might share one of your matrilineal lines?  

Yes, interestingly, I found another Collineau DeMontaguerre that married a Desmarais in my grandfather’s line, wondering if they are related or the same person.
