GENETIC GENEALOGY
American-French Genealogical Society (AFGS) DNA Project
Genetic Genealogy is the use of DNA testing to aide traditional genealogical research. It is the most accurate research tool for the family historian. It does not replace good research, but testing can:
- Determine if two people are related
- Determine if two people descend from the same ancestor
- Find out if you are related to others with the same surname
- Prove or disprove your family tree research
- Provide clues about your ethnic origin
