X DNA Family Links

Gender is determined by the X and Y sex chromosomes: chromosome pair number 23. Males inherit a Y chromosome from their fathers and an X chromosome from their mothers, so all their X-DNA is inherited from their mother. Females inherit an X chromosome from both their fathers and their mothers.

A mother contributes an X chromosome that is usually a recombined mix of both of her X chromosomes (but not always). Fathers contribute their whole X chromosome intact to their daughters.

Because some X chromosomes pass down intact (through males) and skip a generation without recombining, and others are recombined (through females), the average expected percentage of shared X-DNA at each generation varies depending on the branch of the pedigree chart.

This is a list of all my ancestors I can inherit X-DNA from, back to 4th GGP.
