The Shores DNA project is the next logical step in family history research for those seeking to break down their respective family branch, "brick walls". It is not possible to assemble family tree descendancy through DNA testing alone, nor is it possible to assemble family tree descendancy through written and verbal records alone. However, these two methods together, enhanced by multiple Shores researchers and surname participants, can confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt links to Shores family branches that have only been questions in the past.
