Genealogy & family relationship research

DNA research

DNA is most useful when matches are combined with genealogy.

Suitable cases

Interpreting a DNA result you already have: which family branch matches belong to, how a relationship can be confirmed in records, and questions about origins and ancestors.

What Radicae does not do

Radicae does not supply DNA tests and does not trace living persons. Matches and relatives are not contacted; the research concerns your own result, the family trees attached to it and historical records.

Analysis

Matches, shared DNA, clusters and family trees are compared.

Evidence

DNA provides clues. Candidate relationships are checked against documentary evidence where possible.
