Travel backward through time from today's scattered billions to the handful of early humans who lived in Africa 60,000 years ago and are ancestors to us all. In Deep Ancestry, scientist and National Geographic explorer Spencer Wells shows how tiny genetic changes add up over time into a fascinating story. Using scores of real-life examples, helpful analogies, and detailed diagrams and illustrations, he explains exactly how each and every individual's DNA contributes another piece to the jigsaw puzzle of human history. The book takes readers inside the Genographic Project—the landmark study now assembling the world's largest collection of DNA samples and employing the latest in testing technology and computer analysis to examine hundreds of thousand of genetic profiles from all over the globe—and invites us all to take part.

In Finding Your Ancestors Through DNA, author Darvin Martin shows that DNA testing is a reliable way to gather information about one’s forebears. In understandable language, Martin shows how DNA testing works, and how it can lead into one’s deep ancestry. “In other words, we can now go far beyond where the paper trail ends to discover our own family histories,” says Martin, a scientist who has tested nearly 300 individuals in a DNA pilot project. Are you curious about your ancestors? Do you wonder who preceded your grandparents, and where they lived? Do you ever think about what migrations your forebears might have joined? Have you thought about what genealogical streams fed into your own? Because of DNA, it is now possible for each of us to discover the answers to these questions for ourselves. In Finding Your Ancestors Through DNA: Using Tools of Science to Trace Family History, author Darvin Martin shows that DNA testing is a reliable way to gather information about one’s foreparents. In understandable language, Martin shows how DNA testing works. Many Americans do not live in the communities where their parents and grandparents did. Many do not know their family tree beyond their grandparents, or even their parents. And yet many—87%, according to recent surveys—have a relentless urge to discover their own family history and, through that, a sense of belonging. Martin, with a long interest in family history, conducts DNA testing for “OneDNATree,” a DNA pilot project that constructs family lineages from before the time of surnames. “It is now possible to extend whatever small bits of genealogy and family history any one of us knows to a whole new level, that of one’s ‘deep ancestry.’ In other words, we can now go far beyond where the paper trail ends,” he says. DNA results can appear confusing and inconsequential without the means to interpret them. This guide seeks to answer the essential questions asked by everyone seeking DNA to discover their ancestors. Finding Your Ancestors Through DNA includes these chapters: • Chapter 1: DNA Changes Everything (an introduction to the subject) • Chapter 2: Which Test Is Best for Me? (a description of the three types of DNA tests) • Chapter 3: Building on Two Centuries of Research (a brief history of DNA testing; examples of how DNA testing works) • Chapter 4: Connecting to the World Family Tree (how DNA testing reveals human migratory history, combining test results with social and political history around the world) • Chapter 5: We Are All African (what DNA says about human origins; what about the Neandertal?) • Chapter 6: What’s Next? (the future of DNA testing) DNA results can appear confusing and inconsequential without the means to interpret them. Finding Your Ancestors Through DNA is a highly readable guide, based on Martin’s experience, which seeks to answer the essential questions asked by everyone who looks to DNA to discover their ancestors.

The first decade of the new millennium has been an exciting time for the family historian. The increasing availability of online resources has transformed the genealogical research process. DNA testing and the new generation of social networking websites have developed in parallel and are becoming increasingly useful tools.

It can also take you back beyond the paper trail into your pre-surname history. Social networking tools can help you to find and stay in touch with friends and relatives, and provide new ways to share and collaborate with other researchers. This book looks at all the latest advances in DNA testing from the Y-chromosome tests used in surname projects through to the latest autosomal DNA tests. Debbie Kennett explores the use of new social media, including Facebook, Twitter, blogs and wikis, along with more traditional networking methods. DNA and Social Networking is an indispensable guide to the use of twenty-first-century technology in family history research.

Donovan Webster brings his vivid journalistic gifts to a new subject, tracing our deep genealogy using cutting-edge DNA research to map our eons-old journey from prehistoric Africa into the modern world. With the same genetic haplotype as many white American males, Webster makes an ideal subject—he is a genuine Everyman. While his voice and spirit are unique to him, in exploring his own ancestry, he shows us our own. Drawing on National Geographic’s Genographic Project, the largest anthropologic DNA study of its kind, Webster traces centuries of migrations, everywhere finding members of his now far-flung genetic family. In Tanzania’s Rift Valley, he hunts with Julius, whose tribe speaks a click language, and wanders the ruins of ancient Mesopotamia with Mohamed and Khalid, now Jordanian citizens. In Samarkand, Uzbekistan, eastern frontier of his ancestral roaming, a circus ringmaster becomes both friend and link to his primal bloodline. Webster’s genographic quest leads him to contemplate what traits he shares with those he meets, and considers what they and their ways of life reveal about the deep history of our species. A lifetime of journalistic travels among a wide range of cultures furnish Webster with a wealth of colorful threads to weave into a story as particularly personal as it is universally human.

Everyone of us is who and where we are today because of the efforts and decisions of those who came before us -- our ancestors. This book traces the history of nine of my ancestral families, from their small farming villages in Germany, through the wrenching decision to leave cherished roots in Europe, to the planting of new roots in southern Indiana. The book is intended primarily for members of my family, but others may find some interest in a small microcosm of the American experience.

It's natural to want to know where you come from. But the answer to that question goes beyond your parents or grandparents. With the aid of today's science and technology, as well as the wealth of historical and anthropological information available, discovering your roots can become a profound journey into the distant past. After seeing the ancestry results of his DNA analysis, author David Mahal was drawn to research further into his Indian subcontinent roots. What he discovered was a rich history of people from diverse cultures, languages, and religions that, for all their differences, are still genetically linked. Mirroring his multifaceted subject matter, Before India is a fascinating, well-researched amalgamation of genres-part genealogical guide, part ethnic history, part science exposé-that draws a more holistic picture of ancestry by combining these varied insights. Exploring topics such as the origin of our planet and human evolution, as well as how DNA analysis is used to trace deep ancestry, this distinctive guide provides both a robust explanation of genealogy and penetrating insight into India's colorful tapestry of unique ethnic groups. While this easy-to-read text is a particularly perfect launching point for people whose ancestry ties them to the Indian subcontinent, any reader will benefit from Mahal's thorough suggestions on how to trace your lineage to an ancestral group going back thousands of years. The book includes a research study of the ancestral origins of several key ethnic communities in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, along with some communities of Indian and Pakistani origin in Singapore, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom.
