Abstract: A genealogical research and record keeping system and method for identifying commonalities in haplotypes and other genetic characteristics of a biological sample of two or more individual members. Chromosomal fragments identical by descent identify family ties between siblings, parents and children and ancestors and progeny across many generations. It is particularly useful in corroborating and improving the accuracy of genealogical data and identifying previously unknown genetic relationships.

Abstract: A method and system for displaying genetic and genealogical data includes displaying indicators of related individuals. At least one genetically related individual is identified from a database in response to a genetic input of an inquiring individual. Indicators of the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual are displayed. The system includes a computer system having a display device, a processor device, a database and media having computer-executable instructions configured to display indicators of related individuals according to a method. The method includes identifying at least one genetically related individual from a database in response to a genetic input of an inquiring individual and geographically displaying indicators of the inquiring individual and each of the at least one genetically related individual.
