DNA analysis is the latest genealogy research tool through which family relationships can be determined. By combining traditional genealogy and genetics, common ancestors can be identified. DNA is used because of its unique nature and the fact that it is passed down from one generation to the next. In the passing, some parts of the DNA such as the Y-chromosome, remain almost completely unchanged. This property allows for the identification of certain consistencies between individuals who have a common ancestor. Male Y-chromosome testing identifies common ancestors with the same surname. For the many Balbi descendants today this is an exciting opportunity that goes beyond traditional genealogy research methods to link Balbi family branches throughout the world. Toward this goal a Balbi surname DNA project has been established for Balbi descendants. Because the Y-chromosome is carried by males, the DNA test can only be taken by a male whose surname is Balbi. However, results of his test would reveal his Balbi DNA, his Balbi ancestors' and all Balbis, male and female, who are related to him. Results of Balbi DNA tests can be viewed at the DNA Results page. If you are a male whose surname is Balbi, Balbis, Balby, Balbus or any other derivative and have an interest in participating, please contact Cindy Oliver at cboliver@msn.com.
