the Genetic Genealogy movement

The Genetic Genealogy movement uses DNA testing to explore personal and ancestral history. By analyzing genetic markers, individuals can trace their ethnicity, discover relatives, and connect with their family roots more accurately than traditional paper records alone. This approach combines modern genomics with traditional genealogy, helping people uncover unknown family connections and better understand their heritage. It has become popular for personal discovery, historical research, and solving genealogical mysteries, providing a powerful tool to complement traditional methods.
