Kirsten, If there is a website for the DNA surname project, with kit numbers/id numbers of the person listed, I would use that information and cite it as a website. The most recent published case study that I'm aware of that relies heavily on DNA results is Daniela Moneta's Virginia Pughs and

Connie: Yes, that helps a great deal. A narrative footnote was just what I had in mind and it's good to know it's already been done in a published work. I will reference the DNA site, but it needs an explanation wrapped around it. Your response gives me confidence about the direction to

Maureen, I'm sure listers are furiously typing at this moment that you need not be a slave to the suggestion of 4 positions in a location. Many discussions in the list archives. As for your example, why not do as the Quebecers do: either Saint Michel de Bellechasse or

I see that the Legacy GeoLocation database is not very helpful, as a search turns up Saint-Michel, , Québec, Canada. If you put Bellechasse in the county position, the search comes up blank. In fact, counties seem to be totally ignored for Canada. Wikipedia says that Bellechasse is a regional
