DNA Genealogy Testing is the way to overcome genealogy research barriers. If you can’t find the records, your DNA will tell you who your ancestors were. The thing that is really exciting is that GeneTree does Mitochondrial DNA testing, which means you can find out your maternal ancestry because Mitochondrial DNA is inherited by children from their mothers. So if you have the test done, it’s possible to find a common ancestor. For those who are researching their maternal ancestry, this might be the way around those lost records due to slavery, adoption or simply the passage of time.
It also works the same way with the Y-DNA because the Y-DNA follows the paternal line, much like a surname. You can get a DNA profile of the men in your ancestry.
DNA tests don’t require a blood sample and are simple to take. The results of these tests can be amazing when you find out you are related to someone famous or you see on a map how your family line journeyed geographically. Every genealogist knows that tracing your family history with records will come to an end eventually, so DNA Genealogy Testing lets you extend your family tree farther back. And if enough people take the DNA test, who knows how far back you can go.

Amazing Results
By Gerry on November 20, 2009
"I had both my mtDNA and Y-DNA tested this summer and I am amazed at what I found out so far! I found I was a DNA match to three people who live in LA. I contacted them all and found out that we were third cousins once removed. And to top it off, they had information about my grand mother that I had never seen before. Doing this test was the best thing I ever did for my genealogy research!"
