Flemish DNA & Ancestry: History of Three Families over Five Centuries
Using Conventional and Genetic Genealogy is more than a narrow focus
on a handful of Flemish families; author and amateur genealogist Guido
Deboeck delves into how the modern science of genetics can play a
crucial role in genealogy today and in the future. Though Flemish DNA
& Ancestry spotlights the Flanders-Flemish DNA project, the De Bock
family of Little Brabant, the Girardin Family, and the De Zutter
family, a wealth of more general insights into the art and craft of
divining ancestry. Of particular interest is Deboeck's observations on
the value of DNA tests, which can hold true when surnames change and
paper trails break down. Straight talk on how to interpret and weight
the results of DNA analysis are what make Flemish DNA & Ancestry
particularly invaluable to any genealogist, regardless of which
genealogical ethnicity he or she is currently pursuing.
