We don’t need a scientist to tell us about our family traits. One of The first comments that are made about us, as we enter this world as a tiny babe, are carefully made judgements pronounced by our nearest and dearest as to wheTher we favour The looks of our moTher or our faTher.
Nowadays, however, These fondly made assertions can be backed up by genetics. Since The year 2000 – when The first DNA test for family history reasons came into use – DNA testing for family historians has been becoming more popular. It was a ‘slow burn’ to begin with. But in The past couple of years that story has dramatically changed and today millions of people around The globe have taken a DNA test to help Them find out more about Their family tree.
