Family Name
It is possible to determine someone's origin by his/her family name.
Each family name has a long history and is usually based upon either the
trade or profession of one's ancestor or on the place of origin. Many UK
and US family names can be traced to a location in England or Scotland.
While family name can be used to determine relatedness between people,
this should also be backed up by a thorough DNA study.
DNA Bioscience offers several genetic tests which help people in tracing their genetic
origin. One of the tests provides you with a simple and objective description of your ancestral origins. The Ethnicity Test gives you an estimated percentage of ancestry from the four major historical population groups:
- European: Europeans, Middle Easterners and South Asians from the Indian subcontinent including India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
- East Asian: Japanese, Chinese, Mongolian, Koreans, Southeast Asians and Pacific Islanders including peoples native to the Philippines.
- African: Peoples from Sub-Saharan Africa such as Nigeria and Congo region.
Let the experts at DNA Bioscience help you better understand your family name and family origins.
