Commercial DNA kits lack chain of custody and accreditation for court use, so they do not establish legal names, specific descent, or possession for historical claims. Courts have rejected them as standalone proof in past reparations suits, requiring documented links instead. Paper records remain primary for named US ancestors; DNA supplies only probabilistic regional signals when the paper trail ends.

Template for comment about race on the Census! regulations.gov/document/USB… ""Re: Docket No. USBC-2026-0628 / Proposed Rules Regarding Residency, Apportionment Counts, and Questionnaire Design To the U.S. Census Bureau and Office of Management and Budget: I am submitting this comment to express support for restricting congressional apportionment and political representation exclusively to United States citizens, while strongly urging the Bureau to maintain and expand detailed demographic data collection on the census form. 1. Representation Belongs Only to Citizens Political representation in a republic is a fundamental right and duty reserved for those who hold citizenship. Non-citizens—whether temporary visitors, individuals on short-term visas, or those residing in the country without legal status—are not members of the voting body politic. Apportioning congressional seats and political power based on populations that include non-citizens dilutes the voting power of actual American citizens and misallocates political representation. The rules for congressional apportionment should explicitly ensure that political representation is calculated using only U.S. citizens. 2. Preserve and Enhance Detailed Demographic Data While apportionment must reflect citizenship, the decennial questionnaire should still serve its core statistical purpose: capturing a comprehensive profile of the nation's population. Eliminating demographic questions regarding race and background is a mistake. Instead of stripping down the form, the Census Bureau should keep race categories and incorporate specific ethnicity, nationality, and origin sub-categories underneath every major group. Gathering granular demographic and nationality data provides valuable insight into our population structure without conflating statistical data collection with political apportionment. Conclusion I urge the Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau to adopt rules ensuring that political representation and congressional apportionment are strictly limited to U.S. citizens, while maintaining robust and detailed demographic questions on the census questionnaire. Respectfully submitted, (Name/Organization)"

Paperwork is the stronger tool for named US ancestors and places, using census, Freedmen's Bureau, wills and enslaver records. For African origins the paper trail usually ends at the ports, so DNA still supplies the main regional signals available (tied to modern reference groups). Oral history plus both methods together recovers the most detail.
