This document summarizes techniques for mapping a family tree using historic maps, Google Earth, and DNA analysis. It discusses how historic maps can help trace roots back to colonial times and the westward expansion in America. Google Earth allows viewing locations from different eras. DNA analysis is discussed, noting how the Y-chromosome is passed down paternally and can help match surname lines. Websites providing maps, name resources, and DNA testing are also listed.

- 41. XX & XYThere are two sex chromosomes, X and Y. Females carry XX and males XYThe Y-chromosome passes down from father to son. Females do not receive it. The fact that the Y-chromosome goes down the paternal line makes it valuable for genealogy studies, since it typically follows a surname line.
