Designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Samuel's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Samuel gets his Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA.

The DNA Descendants page shows exactly who has inherited Samuel's testable DNA.

DNA Ancestor Confirmation Aid
A step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Samuel's tree.
