Family History Month Round-Up

October 12, 2017 by Legacy Tree Genealogists Leave a Comment

In 2001, Congress passed a bill declaring October as Family History Month in the United States. To celebrate, we’ve compiled some of our most popular blog articles to assist you in learning more about your family history.

DNA – Changing the Future of Genealogy

By analyzing DNA we are able to gather information regarding individuals’ shared heritage, far beyond the basic haplogroup. In many cases DNA testing has helped clients break through genealogy brick walls, like in this case, How the X-Chromosome Solved a 100-Year-Old Adoption Mystery.

By combining thorough genealogy research with DNA analysis, we have helped many clients reunite with biological family members, determine ethnicity, locate elusive family members and more. If you’re just getting started in genetic genealogy, we suggest reviewing our beginner’s guide: The Who What, Where and Why of Genetic Genealogy Testing.

Preserving Your Legacy
