Title question. If yes, what can I learn from it (I've already bought and waiting for Big-Y)?

Thanks in advance!

PS. I am a guy, btw.

Why not I guess. Still an interesting thing to track. I might do it myself once I get my Y dna stuff done. You've already purchased big Y, so if you have the cash might as well do your mtDNA also.

How much does the big Y cost?

Was 499, but the sale just ended, so it's 649 (dollars not pounds) atm lol. They'll defo have a spring sale, and a DNA day sale.

I thought a bit about it and I don't want to sound like a douche, but my wife is the alpha mtdna now in my nuclear family, not my mother, so I think I'll pass, lol.

With the Big-Y, I know my sons will have the same, so it's different.

If you are interested, yes. But I don't think it's too important.
