As a long time genealogy researcher I am still amazed at the advances in being able to document one’s genealogy by using DNA testing. The paper trail that one creates through normal historical and genealogical research methods may now be verified with a simple swab of the inside of one’s cheek.
The Y-chromosome in men go all the way back through each direct male surname ancestor to the beginning of time. This test can be performed on males only. Both men and women may have the X-chromosome test which will show matching DNA markers all the way back through your mother’s mother’s mother and beyond to ancient times.
For those of you that know a lot about DNA testing but have not yet learned all the methods and fun of genealogy research we invite you to take a look at a list of the Top 50 Genealogy Websites, that was recently created by ProGenealogists.com. http://www.progenealogists.com/top50genealogy2011.htm
