Who's Your Daddy -- Part 3 of Weird PR emails

The gift of a family heritage is the new slant for at-home DNA test kits. Is this the next big thing for geneology and memory-keeping? Not to mention social networking! Now you can communicate with total strangers who bear some of the same genetic codes that you do — all in the name of "family."

Notonly can we preserve family photos and oral histories in scrapbooks and on tape, and trace our lineage via birth and death records, at-home DNA text kits now claim to be able to help people in "personal genealogy research and to connect with their family members like never before. … Anyone seeking to research their family history or connect with relatives online can now simply link together family tree profiles that may exist on the popular social networks, including Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Orkut, and Hi5. Individuals who do not use social networks to aide in their family research can now create and access millions of family tree profiles." 

What will they think of next?
