Privacy

Your privacy is very important. We fully respect your right to research your family history without revealing your identity. For the Pearsall (and variant surname) DNA project, we have and will continue to use reference codes that do not reveal who you are – your results and identity are separate. Furthermore, we do not recommend tests that reveal who you are individually (e.g. we do not use autosomal DNA testing). For this project, we only recommend tests that trace direct paternal or maternal lines (e.g. Y-DNA or mtDNA tests). Moreover, the tests we use for genetic genealogy do not generally reveal any medical condition or trait. Y-DNA and mtDNA are strictly used in our context for verification of lines… helping you connect the dots to your ancestors.

Our goal remains one in the same, to facilitate sharing amongst our family special knowledge of our common history and ancestry. If you have any specific questions or concerns, I am always happy to discuss, clarify, and answer.
