DNA Testing and Genealogy - Relatively Speaking

Genealogy - a term growing in popularity among the young and old alike. ?Searching for and reconnecting with relatives can be very exciting and sometimes life altering!? With the internet, popular websites and programs are out there and it's easier than ever to find long lost relatives and reunite families across the planet.? FamilyTreeMaker.com and Ancestry.com are among the leaders in this emerging field.? Facebook is another way people are reuniting with one another.

Many people have recently been in a situation where they have had someone contact them out of the blue claiming to be a relative of uncle so-and-so, or a half-sibling that may have been adopted by another family or raised by a single parent.?? While the concept can be exiting, when it comes down to it and a connection really happens, the experience can be a little confusing and well, a little scary!?

Often times before developing a relationship with newly made acquaintance, or even before meeting for the first time, one or both parties may prefer to prove the existence of a biological relationship.? That is where a company like Paternity-USA comes in.? DNA testing is really the only way to be sure that a real connection exists and a true relative has been found.

DNA testing is more accurate and affordable than ever now.? With technological and scientific developments, it is also easier to test a wider variety of possible relatives than in the past.? There are many options available depending upon what relative(s) may be open to testing.? Believe it or not, the most conclusive tests are the least expensive.? Paternity and Maternity test results are always a 99.9% positive or 0% negative, unless the test participants do share a biological relationship but just not that of a parent/child.?

Testing with other family members is also a possibility.? Accredited DNA tests on the market today include Grandparent and Grandchild, Aunt or Uncle DNA Test, Sibship and Y-STR.? It is true that some tests may be more conclusive than others.? With most of the DNA tests, other than direct paternity and maternity tests, the conclusiveness of the results is greatly increased with the addition of the mother or mothers DNA samples.

It is best to contact a reputable company such as Paternity-USA.com, and discuss your case in details with a case manager.? There are often suggestions that can be made and situational details that can affect the result of the test you chose. ??For example, if the parties in question are half siblings at best, meaning they share only one parent or none, and the known parents are not able to participate in the test, testing with an aunt or uncle can give a more conclusive result. ?

What may not have seemed possible yesterday is a reality today and what may not seem possible today, could be a reality tomorrow.? Companies like Paternity-USA.com work hard to bring the most up-to-date accredited testing to the public at large, at a price point that is reasonable.
