Introduction

 I started writing these pages during the 1990´s to create a record of our family history for my next generations. However, over the last decades a huge amount of new research has been done and the emphesis has changed: DNA is playing an increasing role in identifying our past histories, our health strengths & weaknesses and more. Indeed we now begin to map our trajectory from leaving Africa all those thousands of years ago to present time. When I bagan I didn´t even know the origin of our ´Hagan´ surname.

Other (novice) users who come to this site may find value in my methods for finding information from my DNA. Hopefully they may be able to use the same methods for their DNA data.
