Imagine holding a map that traces the winding paths your ancestors took over centuries, spanning continents and oceans, bringing together diverse cultures and histories. This map doesn’t just show places—it shows you who you are in a deeply personal and biological sense. This is what DNA and genetic genealogy offer: a window into the past that can illuminate the complex and fascinating story of your Brazilian heritage.
Brazil’s population is a true melting pot, formed by indigenous peoples, Portuguese colonizers, African slaves, and waves of immigrants from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Each of these groups left a genetic legacy, woven together over generations to create the unique bond that is modern Brazil. But how can you untangle these threads to understand your own ancestry? This is where genetic genealogy comes in.
