Genetic genealogy has quickly become an essential part of the family history toolkit, but it’s important to understand what it can – and can’t – do. When coupled with traditional genealogical experience, DNA testing can be used to help provide proof of ancestral connections, connect you with living cousins and guide your research toward promising possibilities and away from dead ends. It is not a silver bullet – its value is limited without the concurrent use of traditional family research methods to evaluate and document a paper trail that can be substantiated by DNA evidence.
DavisDNA has marshaled a broad network of experts who have track-records in Traditional ‘paper trail’ Family Research, Genetic Genealogy, with particular expertise in the following areas:
- Effective use of DNA testing for genealogical purposes, including solving puzzles involving adoptions and unknown parentage
