Talk:One-name study

Perhaps the one item that was left out in the gathering of information deals with the creation of a database for Paternal DNA testing. The DNA tests can further help to identify the migration habits of a group of people and tie disconnected people together.
Useing this methodology will ensure that when you do breakthrough on a connection that you have a deep reservoir of new connections that you did not have before, since you are really connecting larger pieces of a puzzle together.
