We can say both matter, but I always thought your mother's ancestry is a tad more relevant than the father . For a few reasons
1.It is easier to verify the mother than the father. This is very true in the case of adoption
2.Mitochondrial DNA
3.Your mother gave birth to you
4.In the Royal family, the mother's line decides who inherits the throne.
If you have an excellent maternal line, but a crummy paternal line, I would say it wouldn't matter, since your mother's side is what really counts. Any thoughts?
