Hi Linda, To focus on one line would be mtDNA or Y - DNA.
Since you said mother's mother's mother's line, that is mtDNA. That is the bottom of your pedigree chart all the way back in time. Just know though that mtDNA has a tendency to be more anthropological in nature. The current belief is for mtDNA testers to test the Full Mitochondrial Sequence test. Once the database reaches critical mass, they think genealogical matches can be made. The FTDNA web site says the mt Full Sequence test has a 50% chance of bringing you within 125 years on your mtDNA line. As more testers take full sequence, you'll see more matches. I have a a $25 off of the Full Sequence test code that someone isn't going to be using. Just send me a private email.
