I'm not quite understanding it, but it doesn't really matter I guess. How does this DNA study help to trace back our ancestors? I know who I'm related to, but does it help with brick walls? Let's say, there are MULTIPLE Wilson lines all over Virginia back in 1700's and earlier. I am stuck at my one particular Wilson b. 1772. Does this do anything to decipher what Wilson family is related to my brick wall Wilson? I don't get it.
