DNA does bring a lot of more awareness. I started doing genealogy in 1963. I went to a lot families to help me, but there was a lot of people that didn't know a lot. I pestered my great aunt to write histories of my grandparents on my fathers side and the area we lived in. She did that for me and I was so blessed to have it. I lived in California and she lived in Utah. She died in 1965, I was so glad that I had that information. Now a days they have texting that is amazing and you can get so much information that I am excited about it. Have a great time in collecting your family information, it is fun.

Because of DNA, I have found a nephew and an entire family branch from my dad and a child that we did not know of. Both have been a beautiful addition.

As an adoptee (paternal) and my husband totally adopted, we both did several DNA tests. We were able to find close family and make connections and we continue to make connections on Ancestry, 23&me DNA also MY Heritage! Teri Rosenberg

my DNA results from 23andMe have changed over the last couple of years, which is explained when joining. And, as Diahan said, it is due to the participants in their database. Results are dynamic, not static.

I knew this was recorded three years ago, but I can get back hugely beyond three generations, specifically using the trees of DNA matches to find our common ancestor, and because I spent decades building my ancient tree on familysearch for free before I tested. Three years later, too few people still only test for their unrealistic ethnicity, and too few people link their DNA results to their tree.

You actually CAN extract DNA from a deceased person's hair. It was done to identify the victims of the Bear Brook murders in New Hampshire. But it's a very expensive process--you can expect to spend well over $1,000. It might become more affordable over time, but until then its use will probably be limited to forensics/crime solving.
@lightyagami34922 жыл бұрын
31:25 This is the flaw in finding out biological parents OR solving unidentified remains or cold cases in general. If the person you are looking for is a recent immigrant it pretty much makes the technology useless UNTILL somebody closely related tests and adds themselves to the database.

Hi Joan! Some RootsTech presenters have handouts available. To find them, go to the session page on rootstech.org and scroll down the page. If the presenter has included handouts or a slide deck, you'll see a section titled 'Downloadable Resources' with files for you to download. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Very true about the part of the companies putting u in a bigger body that's unidentified. Like mine I was 16 Eastern Europe unidentified but with a 7.1 Ashkenazi. So I did my own research and out of my 114 DNA matches of that exact 16 Eastern Europe only 13 are not Jewish and shockingly enough most of them had both Ashkenazi and Sephardic and ironically I also have both of those roots as well. Sephardic from Madrid from my mom Melida Madrid. What's weird is I had a dream about being in the Holocaust days before my results. I was a lady and I can see myself picking up my child from a huge pit and I could see the Holocaust environment around me. Like a past life or something. Life is not with out a sense of irony it seems.

I created Rowley on FamilyTreeDNA so that we could separate out the various branches of the Rowleys. We see over 45 branches (before 1880) that we identify by the immigrant ancestor. We've been able to answer question about whether branches could be related to each other and so far the answer is NO. This is great. Also see www.RowleyResearch.org for definition of the branches.
