Linda,

Thank you for adding to this very interesting subject.

I have a situation with my parents being 1st cousins, 1 generation
removed.

My paternal grandfather is my maternal grandfather's uncle, they descend
from a common male ancestor.

Again if my thinking is correct... my brother's Y-DNA that he received from
our father, would be the same Y-DNA as any of my mom's male siblings.

To further add to the "male Y-DNA," puzzle of our family is the fact that
my mom has brothers from the two marriages of her father. The male Y-DNA of
the offspring of my maternal grandfather's two marriages would be the
same, but the mtDNA of the offspring would be different.

All this may prove, like that old song, that my brother may be his "Own
Grandpa." ;-)).
