Myths about GENETIC DNA testing.....
-----------------------------------------------------------
You've probably read or heard about dna paternity tests in the salacious 'celebrity' pages of tabloid newspapers and magazines, or about dna forensic evidence solving heinous crimes.
Genetic genealogy is altogether milder, and perhaps less specific. For example, genealogy dna testing won't tell you about your family's predisposition to certain medical conditions.
Being still relatively new, there remains a certain amount of misinformation floating about. For example, blood tests aren't necessary, nor, if you're a little 'short on top' do you have to give up a precious lock of hair.
It's all done by mouth swab... quick, no messing and painless.
Genetic dna testing is sometimes seen as an alternative to thorough genealogy research. Let's be clear:
It isn't a quickie family tree option.
It won't tell you the maiden name of your great grandmother.
It won't tell you the name of the townland in Ireland where your ancestors lived in the 16th century.
It won't tell you that you are descended from The Ripper or related to Liam Neeson.
How can a DNA test help with my genealogy you may wel ask ......
