It's a lot to keep track of, which is why the novel is preceded by two full family trees, all the various relationships helpfully mapped out (although I'd recommend not studying these diagrams too carefully, as certain spoilers become obvious under scrutiny).

It's the combination of the DNA data and the data in the family trees that then allows the company's data scientists to build the kind of model that tells you whether your family moved to the U.S. from England or another part of Western Europe.

I knew that people in Europe are less keen on researching their family trees through DNA testing than those in the US. Given that Casandra had only distant matches, I chose one of my suspects whose family I knew had migrated from Vietnam to Germany.

If one were so inclined to follow the various ins and outs of vampire history and mythology, the bloodlines and family trees, it would probably be possible to do so — but there's no reason to bother, because ultimately the mythology is not the point of Underworld.

Although many Aboriginal people who gave hair samples to BAR had already been displaced from their homelands by European colonists, their family trees and stories allowed Tobler and Cooper to connect the samples with ancestral homes—and DNA sequences allowed them to see the relationships between groups.

"We sent them our DNA from the Ramsey Street Rapist, they did their magic with it, they looked at open-source records, public family trees available online, and they were able to triangulate and figure out a strong person of interest for us," Lieutenant Somerindyke told reporters.

That&aposs helped consumer genetics companies like Ancestry and 23andMe grow to massive scales — with more than 15 million and 10 million users respectively who&aposve shipped off their spit with the hopes of learning more about their family trees, genetic traits, or even some health information.

Genealogists had long realized that databases like GEDmatch could be used in this way, but had been wary of working with law enforcement — fearing that DNA test customers would object to the idea of cops searching their DNA profiles and rummaging around in their family trees.

Ever since companies like 23andMe and Ancestry have been offering DNA test kits that tell people what regions of the world their great-great-great relatives hail from, hobby genealogists have been building tools to make it easier to turn that DNA data into family trees.

The camera hovers around a campfire as locals, who refer to themselves as "Pineys," swap tales of their famed mythical monster, the Jersey Devil, and talk about the waves of settlers, from the Lenape Indians to English, Italian, and German immigrants, who make up their family trees.

The investigators used an open-source genetic database, GEDmatch, to explore family trees and see whether any contained matches to DNA samples from the crime scenes, according to Paul Holes, a retired cold case investigator who briefed the Sacramento County sheriff throughout the final stages of the investigation.

As the decade comes to a close, few of us have discussed our genes with our doctors, but millions of us have uploaded our DNA profiles to online databases to fill in the details of our family trees, explore our ethnic roots, and find people who share overlapping sequences of DNA.

HILARY HINZMANN NEW YORK To the Editor: In her Match Book column (July 29) response to the reader "seeking big, fat novels with family trees," I wish Nicole Lamy had included "Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family," by Thomas Mann, and "The Maias," by José Maria de Eça de Queirós.

But the political and dynastic map of early-16th-century Europe is eye-wateringly complex, and as the story jumps back and forth across countries, trying to weave a line of power between women who were often more pawns than queens, even the most dedicated reader risks getting lost in a forest of family trees.

There are literal family trees that unveil the bloodlines of forthcoming characters like Bellatrix Lestrange, random cameos from Potterverse legends like Nicolas Flamel (the dude who discovered the Sorcerer's Stone), and a field trip to Hogwarts that reminds audiences of the good old days when Rowling was still writing the books and it felt like anything could go down in the wizarding world.

After identifying distant relatives of the Golden State murder suspect in an online DNA database, Mr. Holes and other investigators spent months, working with genealogy consultants and using traditional police methods such as scouring death and census records, to build out about 25 family trees going back as far as the suspect's great-great-great grandparents, who lived on the East Coast in the 1800s, according to Mr. Holes.

Buchinger's existence and feats are attested to by a number of his Decalogues (designs incorporating the Ten Commandments), family trees, coats of arms, and a portrait of Queen Anne—most of them bearing his signature written in forward, backward, and upside-down calligraphy, and the epithet "born without Hands and Feet"—and by contemporaneous portraits of him, as well as articles, poems, diaries, broadsides, and playbills about him.

The show (organized by associate curator Freyda Spira with her prints department colleagues Femke Speelberg and Jennifer Farrell), unites the calendar with a sampling of Jay's treasures: coats of arms, dense with ornament, made on commission for wealthy patrons; various elaborate family trees, including Buchinger's own; a micrographic portrait of Queen Anne; renderings of the Ten Commandments; and other artists' portraits of Buchinger, along with ephemera celebrating his prowess and talents.

That belief can be held for racist reasons by racists, but it can also be held, reasonably and righteously, by people who worry about the economic consequences of demographic decline … or by people who worry about the social consequences of shrinking family trees and a widespread unfulfilled desire for kids … or by people who regard a higher birthrate as a cure for ethnic division because it actually makes assimilating immigrants easier … or by people who just think babies are good and societies that can easily afford to rear more of them should do so.
