Happy DNA Day! Pictured here are the women who passed their mitochondrial DNA on to me. Seated on the left is my great-grandmother, Helen Kozlowski Kaminski. She is holding me (on the right) and my cousin Kathy on her lap. Seated to her right is her daughter, Helen Kaminski Horn, my maternal grandmother. Standing behind her is her two daughters, my mother is on the right, and my mother’s sister is on the left. Did you know that a mother passes her DNA on to all her children- male and female, but only females can pass it on to the next generation? A Mitochondrial DNA test can give you clues about where your matrilineal line was hundreds, and possibly thousands of years ago.
