Genealogical Studies Being Aided by Family Tree DNA Tests
Family Tree DNA helps genealogists find lost relatives when the paper trail ends and the brick wall takes its place.
Millions of people around the world can trace their ancestry back several generations or more through oral history, family documents or government records of such events as marriages and births. In the United States, genealogy has become a popular pursuit especially for descendants of immigrants who are interested in knowing where their forefathers originated. These genealogical researchers are being aided these days by DNA tests that can sometimes help them bridge gaps left in the paper trail. Sometimes these tests can lead to surprises.
