I had not thought of using maternal descendants of brick wall ancestors. Interesting strategy that I will look into. I have one immigrant ancestor that we don’t really know where she is from but I do know some of the female line descendants. Thank you for the idea.

Well, this is great news. Maybe when these upgrades happen at FTDNA perhaps I can get something of value out of the mtDNA test. As it is right now it's practically worthless.

But my brick wall matriarch born in 1795 had no daughters

Your matriarch's sons would have inherited one X chromosome from their mother
