Genetic Genealogy

Tangled Web Genealogy specializes in Genetic Genealogy

Genetic genealogy is the use of DNA testing in combination with traditional genealogical and historical records. Genetic genealogy involves the use of genealogical DNA testing together with documentary evidence to infer the relationship between individuals. 1

Tangled Web Genealogy helps you sort and make sense of your DNA matches, by analyzing the amount of shared DNA– measured in centimorgans (cM)– evaluating the probable relationships, and test our hypotheses with documentary evidence.

This type of research is helpful in breaking down brick walls, and finding biological family.
