[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] DNA testing

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA = maternal line)

I am Haplogroup J, subgroup J2 as per DNA test of the Genographic Project, which checks ancient ancestral lineage genetic mutation.  Someday I hope to afford more definitive testing.  And I'd like to have the male (Y chromosone) done on my brother for paternal ancient ancestry.
