Genetic
Genealogy
One of
the fastest growing segments of genealogy research is
DNA testing. Performing years of research from books and
records can stall and there comes a point when you need
to reach out to your family for help. If you think you
have exhausted the immediate family and need to go
further, DNA testing can help.
Surnames
Surnames have a great source of
information and history attached to them and many
genealogists have performed extensive research.
Unlocking the true potential of analyzing surnames comes
when large family studies are conducted. The people
around the world who share your surname can be distant
cousins you've never met. DNA can help link them to you.
Genetic
Preservation
Once your genetic profile is
produced for a set of markers, it can live on forever in
electronic form. No further DNA is necessary unless new
advances warrant new testing. In either case GFI
Laboratory can help. Imagine if your ancestors knew that
their DNA would be tested in the future and preserved
samples for you to test. You have the opportunity to
preserve your family's DNA for testing. |
