If you are tracing the maternal side, you don't need to know ANY of the
male parents. Obviously, if you are studying the inheritance both sides
are of equal interest. I can see how Sharons comment came out wrong when
she decided to shorten her message, and I misunderstood her meaning.
Actually, I thought this was an odd thing for someone as scientific as
Sharon to come out with. That's the problem with 'cutting and pasting'
on the computer. (I think I just woke up with my pedantic pants on that
morning, as I recall a similar mailing re 2nd or 3rd millenium.)
Cheers, Jan
