People without extensively documented trees may have a problem making connections to their genetic distant cousins. This should not hold you back from testing your DNA and may be the only way of discovering otherwise elusive lines. DNA testing does not replace "traditional" genealogical research of original documents, census entries, cemetery records, etc. DNA testing can also reveal ancestry for people who are adopted and, if a close match is in the database, can reveal the family of origin.
Growing family trees from leaves and branches. Finding lost relatives. Solving family mysteries. Concentrating in New Jersey and New York.
