Surname Projects and DNA Projects, What is the difference?

Is it all YDNA? Can we use mtDNA to further a Surname Study? What about XDNA, isn’t X only handed down from the Mother to the daughter (no it’s not), can it help? And what about auDNA, how can knowing information back to our 64, 4th great grandparents give us anything about our Surname?

We will explore all the DNA avenues which might be helpful in working your Surname Project. It’s all in our Genes after all and all packed into one single hour.
