DNA Testing & Privacy
A Thoughtful Approach at Faith Walk Genealogy

DNA testing can be a powerful tool for understanding biological connections—but it should always be approached with care, consent, and respect.

​

At Faith Walk Genealogy, DNA testing is never required and never rushed. It is one optional tool used thoughtfully, ethically, and only at your pace. You remain in control every step of the way.

​
What DNA Testing Can Help With

  • Identifying biological relationships

  • Confirming or clarifying family connections

  • Supporting research when records are limited or missing

DNA testing does not provide medical diagnoses, does not define identity, and does not change family bonds.

 
Privacy & Ethics Come First

  • You choose whether to test

  • You control visibility and privacy settings

  • No outreach to DNA matches without your consent

  • Sensitive discoveries handled carefully and respectfully

  • You may pause or stop at any time

DNA is treated as information—not exposure.
