I realise that results will depend on whether or not certain people are tested, but is there a chance in this situation that we might get a clue to a distant male ancestor or because we will be following a female line, the chances are limited? |

The Y chromosone test won’t work here as it is for purely the male line. The autosominal test follows both male and female. |

I'm not expecting a definite link, I was asking if this was at all possible. |

Not 'knocking it' per se............merely trying to get people to have realistic expectations about what it can achieve. |

For those that have no experience of researching their family the results can be a bit daunting. |

You could register at Lost Cousins and look at the master class on DNA. The site has lots of useful information in its newsletters. |
