Inheritance of haplogroup

When changing a haplogroup for a person, a selection window opens for the inheritance of the haplogroup.

Genney manage two different haplogroup types:

• Y-DNA
  Which is inherited on the male side, i.e. a man's all sons and their sons, etc.
• Mt-DNA (Mitochondrial DNA)
  Which is inherited on the woman's side, i.e. a woman's all daughters and their daughters, etc. The sons also inherit mt-DNA but can not pass it on.

When changing a haplogroup for a person, a window opens to select how the change will be inherit. The window contains a hierarchical tree with all people who have potentially the same haplogroup.

• The whole tree is fully expanded, and the person from whom the inheritance is based is marked with an arrow .
• Haplogroups for persons who already have a haplogroup associated with the current type (Y-DNA or mtDNA) are displayed in italics in front of the name.
• Persons with a warning triangle already have a haplogroup that is in conflict with the haplogroup to which the action applies.
• Persons with a lock icon are locked and will not be affected and act as a barrier for the legacy to move on, both up and down.
• Persons with a green icon are persons without conflicts.
• Persons with a red icon are checked persons who will not be affected by the change.
• Checked persons will be affected by the action unless a person is locked, then the person and persons who come after the inheritance are ignored.

A single click selects/deselectes a person and Shift + click selects/deselects the person and all the person's descendants.

  The inheritance is only performed when the person in the biography is saved.
