We asked all of our Historians for permission to include information about them on this site.
Some did not want their information published on the web, and others preferred that I not

respected their wishes.

DNA analysis of the Schürch family during the last 10,000 years
We hear in the news almost every day how DNA is determining guilt or innocence in crimes, finding genes involved in diseases and learning about extinct animals. DNA analysis is also becoming an important genealogy research tool. Tracing family history has in the past been limited to following family names, civil records, church records and other recorded information. This type of information can only take you back a few hundred years. With the advent of rapid DNA analysis methods and an understanding of how DNA is passed down from each male to his sons, grandsons, great grandsons and so on permits extending our reach into the past to several thousand years. Tom and Verne will explain in simple terms how DNA can be used to trace our family back long before there were written records or the name Schürch.
