DNA testing may establish lineage going back more than 500 years

11. Tale of Richard III's skeleton is filled with drama – and it's not over yet

An interesting article on further testing being done on Richard's skeleton:

Move down to about halfway through the article, where it deals with mitochondrial DNA testing, which cannot guarantee proof of ancestry 100%. This perhaps explains why DUers on some threads have expressed disappointment with the results of some DNA tests they've undertaken. Seems that perhaps many of these tests are too generalised to be of much help with fine-tuning the genealogy of our ancesters.

There's still so much I have to learn on this subject, but how fascinating it is.
