[QUOTE=LenaBeena;7841593]Yes, very different. DNA is biological, genealogy is social. Your ancestors may have lived in Germany, but way, way, way back there may have been British, Oriental, Australian, etc. in their blood lines. So much movement occurred and lands changed rulers, and wars were fought etc. And remember the results are only from people in their database. As of now it is in many countries and about 16 billion submissions. As more people have their tests done, more will be found in results. No one from my mothers family has had their DNA tested yet. When they do I will find more cousins. Many times family records can be in error or confusing, or lost so this really helps. Maybe this will even help stop prejudice as we realize we all connected in one big world.
