Background. A combined genetic and geographic analysis facilitates the discovery of one’s ethnic background by studying the closest ancestors and those who lived thousands of years ago. The following article describes a practical application of doing geographic research on a person’s history. The objective of the study is to demonstrate the capacity of genetic and geographic analysis in the identification of the ethnic background of one of the article’s co-authors.

Material and methods. A combined analysis of genetic alleles and geographic location was performed. A buccal smear from the inside of the cheek was done for a further study that was performed in Medical Genomix laboratory, USA. The material was collected at Mother and Child laboratory, Kyiv.

Results. The genetic profile of the examined person was presented. The available alleles, detected by markers, are specific enough to a particular historical group (nation), which enables determining the percentage of ancestors of an individual under study in a particular region.

Conclusions. Combined genetic and geographic research may serve both as a source of information on the ethnic origin of a particular person and as a tool while studying some places and geographic locations.
