Genetic Family Trees

Genetic family trees map out relationships based on inherited DNA, revealing connections beyond traditional genealogy. They analyze specific genetic markers to identify relatives, trace ancestral origins, and uncover hidden familial links. By comparing DNA patterns among individuals, scientists can determine degrees of relatedness—such as parent, sibling, or distant relative—and provide insights into ethnicity and migration history. These trees complement traditional family trees by adding a genetic dimension, offering a deeper understanding of ancestral roots and genetic connections across generations.
