Project Background
Traditional research has yielded valuable information on the history of our families, but often bumps up against the “brick wall” of genealogy – a place where the genealogist can only go so far in research with family and/or public records. Enter DNA genealogy, today's cutting edge resource. Family history solutions of the future are with DNA. Read the compelling recommendations below.
NEW ENGLAND ANCESTORS, official publication of New England Historic Genealogical Society, Summer 2004: "Y-chromosome and mtDNA testing can be used to verify family relationships and may make your family's history even more accurate and reliable. DNA testing can add supporting evidence to genealogical conclusions or it can disprove them completely. What DNA testing can't do is prove any descent correct." By Thomas H. Shawker.
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION MAGAZINE, Spring, 2005: "DNA evidence is now accepted in mainstream genealogy as being as reliable as, or in some case more reliable than the evidence from written records genealogists traditionally rely upon. Inevitably it will increasingly be offered to support future SAR lineages." By Delaware Society Compatriot Don DeVine, CG, GGI.
FAMILY CHRONICLE, September/October 2003: "It's important to understand that genetic genealogy is a complement to--not a substitute for--traditional genealogical research and is mostly used for surname studies to determine if people share a common ancestor. Contrary to some misconceptions, it is not a short-cut to your family history, a means to learn about your entire family tree, a way to answer medial questions or genealogical cheating." By Megan Smolenyak.

As project administrator, Rosemary is a volunteer and receives no financial remuneration of any kind from FamilyTreeDNA. She says, "Genealogy is my hobby." Read her non-technical article, About DNA, and view or print grouped Woodward chart, stories, pedigrees, participant contact information and much more. The role of volunteer group administrator for a DNA project is a fascinating challenge. Every Family Tree DNA surname project has an administrator and co-coordinator. They are volunteers who prepare and maintain the website, recruit and screen new members, and offer assistance to participants. This keeps costs down, enabling those interested to get a low group rate for DNA tests, starting with $99 for the initial 12-marker test. If you have suggestions or comments about the Woodward DNA Genealogy project, please email Rosemary.
