Genetic Genealogy Without Illusions: What DNA Tests Actually Show

KAZANKOV Dmitry Alexandrovich
KAZANKOV Dmitry Alexandrovich

It works excellently in tandem with documentary genealogy: confirming or refuting hypotheses, finding unknown relatives, and breaking through brick walls. But expecting the test to build a pedigree back to the 16th century on its own is an illusion.

We always advise users to first establish a documentary foundation and only then verify it with DNA data
