Most people associate DNA tests with criminal investigations and the occasional paternity scandal, but what about our own family scrapbooks?
People, it seems, are getting more interested in finding one’s roots. While these searches once entailed long hours in family attics, libraries, and the cavernous archives of the office of public records, they can now go to the web—and conduct online genealogical searches.
This is partially made responsible by the partnership between the biggest family history site, Ancestry.com, and the leading private DNA research firm, Sorenson Genomics. People can ask for DNA tests (about $200) and then post them on family sites, allowing others to pinpoint connections that would’ve taken years—if found at all. There are already thousands of DNA results available.
