Who can participate?
A.) Actually, anyone can participate in the project. The question is really a matter of who can take the test. Because the y-chromosome is handed down, only from father to son, only direct male Ballew descendants can take the YDNA test. However, anyone can take the mtDNA test, since both men and women inherit mitochondrial information from the mother.
