Do those mitochondrial tests really tell you all that much about your more recent relatives though? I thought the general consensus was that they didn't give you much specific information about your great-grandmother's mother's mother for example, other than maybe what general part of the world they're from

IDK I had a friend who did this recently and I asked her about it because I have been wondering about my maternal lineage for like, my whole life and it's difficult to find anything (I keep hitting a dead end at my great-grandmother's mother, I don't even know her maiden name) but she told me it wouldn't help at all for that.

I mean if all it comes back with is something like "European ancestry" I'd just be like DUH, I mean that is not helpful at all

The mitochondrial and Y-dna tests won't do recent generations, but the autosomal test possibly can.

The Ancestry DNA test is an autosomal test that purports to show you matches to your dna; close matches can reveal people who are 3rd / 4th / 5th cousins, giving you someone who fits into your tree somehow and who may have done research on the same line of people. Of course, they only show you links to ancestry.com people who have taken the test.

The 23 and me Relative Finder https://www.23andme.com/ancestry/relfinder/ uses the autosomal dna and apparently allows people to connect to others with dna matches on their site.

But in either case, if you find a match, there's a *chance* they could be related to the side you're having the most trouble with. On the flip side, they could be related to you on a side you have researched thoroughly, giving you no new info.
