  Beginning to learn about one's heritage, even by speaking with available older relatives
  about their pasts, can help facilitate self-awareness as a member of a group and provide
  a bridge to a forgotten cultural base, empowering individuals and family systems to
  confirm or reweave their values, identify patterns, and make changes in personal, family
  and cultural activities; all of which in turn may give hope for curing present social ills.

GENETICS and GENEALOGY: DNA and Genetic Genealogy: Genealogical DNA test
* dna genealogy: In Search of Our "Biblical Common Ancestor"
  Understand exactly how tests reinforce folk ideologies.  "They oversimplify
  and misrepresent the pattern of human genetic variation, and they suggest
  that genetic units are more congruent with racial and cultural ones than they
  actually are."  Extant records are a reality check, showing that early church,
  civil laws and historical common group practices present a great hindrance,
  in accepting DNA projections as conclusive or genealogically practical.

  When investigators attempt to document and study the natural history of an inherited
  disease, condition, or characteristic, they do so by identifying individual members of
  families presenting the disease, condition, or characteristic and obtaining information
  about them and the other members of their family.  The result is a pedigree analysis,
  which, in addition to tracing the natural history of a disease and documenting the range
  of symptoms involved, may also reveal information about family members that individual
  members may not have known about previously (e.g., the existence of previously
  unknown relatives or the presence of stigmatizing diseases, such as mental illness).
