The University of Arizona is part of a major -- and I mean major -- study on the human migration history and patterns, using mitochondrial DNA, which shows such interesting things as which regions your ancestors passed through. http://hammerlab.biosci.arizona.edu/ http://www.nationalgeographic.com/emerging/spencerWells.html On the other hand, on a more "micro" level, many families are trying to "cross the pond" by collecting male DNA from direct lines and comparing that to DNA from various enclaves of families with the same surnames (or thought to be the "same" line) in Europe and Asia. So, can you tell where your family came from? Maybe, if you have the "right" current set of relatives.
