RootsPath (rootspathdna.com), operated by RootsPath Research LLC, is an independent genealogy research guide. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or connected in any way to any of the following companies or services: 23andMe, Inc.; Ancestry.com LLC (AncestryDNA); MyHeritage Ltd.; FamilyTreeDNA (Gene by Gene, Ltd.); Living DNA Ltd.; Geneanet; FindMyPast; or any other commercial DNA testing or genealogy service provider.

All content on this website is provided for informational and educational purposes only. The information provided does not constitute professional genealogical, legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice. Genealogical research involves analysis of historical records and DNA evidence, both of which have inherent limitations in accuracy and completeness.
DNA ethnicity estimates are statistical approximations that change as testing company algorithms and reference populations are updated. Relationship predictions from DNA matching are estimates based on statistical ranges and may not precisely identify the actual relationship between matched individuals. Users should exercise independent judgment when interpreting genealogical evidence.
We make every reasonable effort to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information presented on this website. However, genealogical knowledge is continuously evolving as new records become available and research methodologies advance. We do not warrant that all information is current, complete, or error-free. Users are encouraged to consult primary sources and, where appropriate, engage certified professional genealogists for important research conclusions.
This website contains links to external websites provided as a convenience to visitors. These links do not constitute an endorsement of the linked organizations or their content. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.

Ethnicity estimates are statistical comparisons against reference populations and can change as companies update their algorithms and reference panels. Relationship predictions are probabilities based on shared DNA ranges, and several different relationships can share similar amounts of DNA. Nothing on this site should be treated as a definitive conclusion about your ancestry or your family relationships.
Health-related DNA reports offered by some companies are outside the scope of this website. We do not provide medical, genetic counseling, or legal advice. If a test result raises questions about your health, parentage, inheritance, or immigration status, please consult a qualified professional such as a physician, certified genetic counselor, or licensed attorney.
Our guides are written for general educational purposes and are reviewed periodically, but prices, features, database sizes, and company policies change frequently. Always confirm current details directly on the official website of any testing company or record service before you make a purchase or share personal information.
Privacy deserves attention at every step. Before uploading raw DNA data to any third-party service, read its terms of service and privacy policy carefully, check whether law enforcement matching is enabled by default, and decide how much of your family information you want to make visible to other users. Living relatives should always be asked before their names, dates, or photographs are published in a public online tree.
