🧬 Welcome to Ancestral Spotlight DNA Studies

At Ancestral Spotlight, we believe that DNA doesn't just reveal ethnicity — it tells the stories of families, migrations, and ancestral ties long forgotten. Through structured research studies, we work to piece together the hidden relationships and historical patterns that traditional records alone can't fully explain.

 

We currently manage several focused DNA projects, combining genetic evidence, documented genealogy, and community collaboration to explore:

  • Direct paternal (Y-DNA) and maternal (mtDNA) lineages

  • Autosomal DNA clusters and segment mapping

  • Surname-specific and regional ancestry patterns

  • Indigenous ancestry research with a commitment to respect and accuracy

 

Each study is grounded in the principles of ethical research, privacy, and a shared passion for discovering the ancestors who shaped us. Whether you’re looking to contribute your DNA to a project, explore existing results, or learn more about how genetic genealogy brings history into sharper focus — you’re in the right place.
