Your Earliest Ancestors: Part01
Starting with yourself and working backwards is the proper method to do genealogy research. All experts agree on this.
If you attempt to start somewhere in the middle, say like with some famous person and then trying to find if you are related to them, will likely end in frustration.
The same methodology is best for Genealogy DNA testing purposes. You start by submitting your own DNA sample to the testing laboratory and then comparing the results with hundreds of thousands of other individuals that have also submitted their samples.
By comparing these lab results and by also using the data that has been collected by scientists and archaeologists over a great many years we can now go further back in time to some of the earliest days of human migration out of Africa. Certain genetic patterns have evolved that specify certain groups of people of a common haplotype and when your DNA code shows a match, then you can be certain that your early ancestors were within that group.
Now what about Pre-Historical times? There are still ways to look at fossil and archaeological evidence for certain types of human kind and occasionally some rare human tissue is discovered that can help fill in more rungs on the DNA ladder of history that might also come down to your own code.
We call your attention to this 23andMe video about the earliest of time and Genealogy DNA pre-history.
The whole idea of the DNA testing labs is that it may additionally show to the extent to which two persons are related. As an example, some DNA experiences reveal that the 2 people are real brothers, while another report can show that they’re cousins or distant relatives.
It is not necessary that two individuals having the same surname have to be actually related. With the help of DNA testing one may discover out if any two people or descendants truly come from the equivalent ancestor. These are tests that are vital for proving your ancestry, and also to explain the biological specimen that may be common with some ancestor.
