DNA Painter
DNA Painter is an easy-to-use tool that helps genealogists make sense of DNA testing. By mapping segments of DNA to chromosomes, we can begin to see which ancestors gave us which pieces of DNA, and thus how new matches are related.

St. Cloud Area Genealogists (SCAGS) provides a wealth of resources to help you discover ways to bring your family history to life. Click on the SCAG Projects category to view the indexes and projects developed by our members over the years. 

While our resources are limited, we encourage you to check out Cyndi's List for a comprehensive, categorized list of links to genealogical research sites. If you have ancestors from this area, you may want to visit the specific county or Minnesota categories.
