DNA continues to revolutionize genealogy research. MSNBC reporter
Alan Boyle has written about his efforts to prove his relationship to a number
of people in Ireland and Australia. All of them could document their descent
from Boyle and O’Boyle families in the same small village in Ireland, so they
assumed that they were related. In fact, DNA analysis proved otherwise.
This is an interesting article about DNA analysis becoming an
important new tool in a genealogist’s "toolbox." DNA often can prove
and/or disprove relationships. You can read the article online at: www.msnbc.com/news/682153.asp.
