Trying to find the right pedagogy to learn this has left me feeling like a deer looking at an oncoming car at night with bright headlights on. Larry

I am only interested in my maternal line but can only trace to early 1800 (specifically 1832 but of course know her mother's married name and maternal DNA so back a bit further, in Galway Ireland. There are no documents, famine and the troubles took all. So genealogy wont let me back further... and the maternal line are amazing women. My 17 year old famine orphan brought my maternal line here to Australia in 1849...
Can you help with information re access to the mtDNA group?
