DNA

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. DNA can link you to people and places. It can confirm or dispute relationships.  It’s a tool that is used more and more in genealogy research. Many Ancestry sites now offer DNA tests to help match you to others, using DNA. It’s also widely used to obtain health related information. The two links below provide the DNA tests for health and another for ancestry research.
