SMGF is building the world's foremost collection of genetic and genealogical information. The Sorenson Database currently contains more than 90,000 DNA samples and family trees from men and women around the world. The database is divided into three sections:

1) Y-Chromosome Database
2) Mitochondrial Database
3) Autosomal Database

Y-Chromosome Database

The Y-Chromosome Database is on-line and contains more than 30,000 Y-DNA samples and genealogies for public search. Since only males have Y-DNA, the Y-Database is ideal for surname research. Please go to the Search page to start searching, or click Y-Chromosome DNA to learn more.

Mitochondrial Database

The Mitochondrial Database is on-line and contains more than 62,000 mtDNA samples and genealogies for public search. Sons and daughters inherit their mtDNA from their mothers, making the mtDatabase ideal for maternal line research. Please go to the Search page to start searching, or click Mitochondrial DNA to learn more.

Autosomal Database

SMGF is pioneering the application of autosomal DNA for genealogical purposes. Autosomal DNA is inherited from all of one's ancestors, making the future Sorenson Autosomal Database a treasure trove of comprehensive information found nowhere else in the world.

Check back in the near future for more announcements about these exciting additions to the Sorenson database.
