I can think of no clearer example of the value of autosomal DNA testing for genealogy than displayed in the latest episode of the PBS series Finding Your Roots. It shows how such tests, along with traditional genealogy, can reveal unknown parentage, in this case with hip hop performers, Sean Combs and LL Cool J. Recommended viewing even if the attraction of hip hop escapes you.

I found this episode to be fascinating! I am hoping for a similar breakthrough on my Grandfather, who did not know who his birth father was.
