Tools like this are the only way most descendants of slavery can trace their heritage AND find relatives.
For a lot of people 'family history' stops at 3 generations ago. Not only are they denied heritage, they are denied a home, a land, and a people. A sense of connection to the past is denied them.
DNA services are the only way to make these connections. And they are not trust worthy.
