Genealogy / Has anyone taken Genealogy DNA tests? [87]
I did not have the DNA tests done to determine if I am Polish. I already knew that. I was just stating what our results were and a poster had said in a previous post that the predominate Haplogroup for males in Poland is R1a.
The tests were done as part of genealogical research. The more markers that match with another person, the more likely it is that you share a common ancestor. As I am having difficulty in finding ancestors beyond my great-grandfather, I thought that having the tests would be helpful.
As far as the maternal side, I am still awaiting for the final results to come in and to see what matches I may have with someone else who has had the tests done.
