The New World of DNA Genealogy
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.

My thanks to Gay Spencer for letting me know about this interesting article.
