| DNA Information
The relatively new science of genetic genealogy using DNA testing is helping
many of us to find and verify our roots by providing irrefutable proof of
kinship to other cousins with the same or similar surname. This is a complex new
science with lots of new terms and processes that are unfamiliar to most of us.
The items and resources listed on this page will help you to understand and find
