FAMILY TREE  Tuesday, August 19, 2008

DNA testing has changed the way families study genealogy. What started as a hobby for Chicagoan Mike Karsen, unearthed a missing piece in Jack Kane's family history. As head of a local Jewish genealogy group, Karsen underwent DNA testing to trace back his family lineage. Those roots connected to Kane, a Wisconsin computer programmer. Kane's father, Gordon, had been abandoned as a young boy in a New York City office building. Later adopted, Gordon Kane, now 82, knew nothing about his biological family. DNA test results show that Kane and Karsen are cousins.
