Is there such a thing that determines maternal or paternal DNA,
Hope that isn't a daft question, have done a DNA   but am none the wiser
Hi Louisa,

Ancestry seem to be able to distinguish between paternal/maternal sides as long as you have a tree with your parents added with possibly g/parents too?

It's quite a new thing but seems to be working for me so far although I have quite a big tree to help them help me  ;)

It is a developing algorithm, so probably best to expect changes.

What I find odd is that I see in Unaccounted, some of my DNA Matches who are already in my Tree, where their relationship is flagged as is which side of my family they belong.

So to me at present it is questionable.

Where it has assigned I have gone through a couple of hundred matches on each parental side and it does look as though they are correctly assigned
