All other things being equal Halachically, if you have two people with Yahrtzeits one for a mother and one for a father, who has priority with regards to getting an Aliyah (and/or davening for the amud and/or saying kadish), and why?

@msh210 Kadish? Why should there need to be a priority? Unless you're referring to places where only one person says the Kadish? – yydl Jul 1 '11 at 21:06

@yydl, it could still apply to the question of who says kaddish after the reading of the Torah. I've never seen that one shared by two or more people. – Alex Jul 1 '11 at 23:15
@yydl, I was referring to places where one person says each kadish. – msh210♦ Jul 1 '11 at 23:17

The halacha does not differntiate between one mourning for a mother or a father in terms of priority for any of the chiyuv davening activities. In fact, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 26:16 states that even one who is mourning for both a mother and a father does not get priority over one mourning for another relative.
