    Studies of 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.  Thus,
    scientific DNA studies appear to be subject to historical marital happiness within
    the set of any given ancestry. [DNA testing relies on unbroken male lineages. It
    can be foiled by unknown breaks in the blood line. Sources of breaks include:
    (1) hanky-panky with the neighbor,
    (2) a pregnant bride marrying the wrong man
    (3) unrecorded adoptions.]
  - DNA Testing by Ancestry.com Reveals Ancestry & Genealogy
    Research Note:  DNA myths about discovering ancient ancestry prior to 4,000 B.C.,
    are not based upon standard, credible written documentation.  Genealogies of
    recorded human history invalidate false time and location assumptions of origins.

  - DNA Testing for Genealogy
    " Most Recent Common Ancestor Calculations: By using average marker mutation
    rates it is possible to compare two profiles and back-calculate how long ago their
    most recent common ancestor lived. This method is derived from anthropological
    science and although of some use, has a margin of error that reduces its usefulness
    in individual family history studies."

  - Genographic Project - Human Migration, Population Genetics, Maps, DNA,
    promoted by National Geographic and connected to Ancestry.com, with its own
    DNA Testing, has many incorrect assumptions, directly contradicted by ancient
    records and biblical testimony.  In Luke 17: 26-30, the words of Jesus Christ say:
    "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
    They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until
    the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them
    all."  Human populations, from the early families of Noah, after the world wide
    division of the earth, were comparatively small, isolated groups, geographically
    independent from each other over many hundreds of years, subsequently brought
    together by colonization migrations.  Japheth's descendants, Ham's descendants
    and Shem's descendants, were physically mobile and widespread, upon the total
    undivided land mass of the globe.  This is verified by the DNA Tribes® Personal
    Genetic Analysis and (pdf) of world regions, confirming that "within the borders
    of nearly all regions, individuals can be found with genetic ties to neighboring
    and sometimes distant regions."   Reference: 012:  NOAH (the son of LAMECH).
    Historical records invalidate as false pseudoscience, DNA male projections in
    origins, prior to 3000 B.C., or female projections in origins, prior to 4000 B.C.
    The atlas of recorded human history invalidates false time assumptions of origins.
  - Identity & Genetic Ancestry Tracing
    The problem is that mapping Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA
    polymorphisms will trace only two genetic lines on a family tree in
    which branches double with each preceding generation.

  and parsimony analysis.  This discussion will evaluate the scientific methods
  used to certify these results and determine if the conclusions are justified.

* Origin of Man
  “God created man in his own image” (Gen. 1:27). . . .
  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, basing its belief
  on divine revelation, ancient and modern, proclaims man to be
  the direct and lineal offspring of Deity.  God Himself is an exalted
  man, perfected, enthroned, and supreme.  By His almighty power He
  organized the earth and all that it contains, from spirit and element,
  which exist coeternally with Himself.  He formed every plant that grows
  and every animal that breathes, each after its own kind, spiritually and
  temporally --“that which is spiritual being in the likeness of that which is
  temporal, and that which is temporal in the likeness of that which is spiritual.”
  - Mountain of Names (Genealogy)
  - Spiritual Matter | Book of Mormon Research
    "Spirit is a substance; that it is material, but that it is more pure, elastic
    and refined matter than the body; that it existed before the body, can
    exist in the body; and will exist separate from the body, when the body
    will be mouldering in the dust; and will in the resurrection,
    be again united with it. (History of the Church 4:575). Kristus.dk: Chapter 33

    Studies, Jewish Studies, and Native American Studies.
* Surname DNA Project
  Genetic genealogy project which uses genealogical DNA tests to trace male lineage.
  - BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | DNA 'could predict your surname'
    Dr. Jobling emphasises the limitations of the method;
    it could have some predictive power in just under half the
    population, after the most common surnames like Smith,
    Taylor and Williams have been excluded.
  - Chinese Surnames Today
    Although there are thousands of Chinese family names, the 100 most
    common surnames, which together make up less than 5 percent of
    those in existence, are shared by 85 percent of the population.
  - Korean Name
    45% of Korean people bear the family name Kim, Lee, or Park.

    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).
  - Personal Genome Project can establish a complete sequence and analysis of
    the Genome, while treating as meaningless, the very concept of real attachment
    to one's own personal family ancestry, as well as true faith in mankind's biblical
    heritage.  Jesus Christ said: "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the
    whole world, and lose his own soul?  Or what shall a man give in exchange for
    his soul?"  DNA has no value beyond the validation of real human relationships.
