Scientist Tested Mormon DNA Bloodlines — Here Is What They REALLY Found!

For 170 years, the Latter-day Saint tradition taught two peoples they shared the same ancient blood, traceable to the Kingdom of Judah. Then in 1998, DNA laboratories in New Zealand and Oxford ran the tests. What came back did not match the family records. It did not match the church records. And one anomaly buried deep inside the Utah results pointed to a ghost town in the western desert that almost nobody alive today has ever heard of. If your ancestors came through Utah, that anomaly may already be sitting in your DNA results right now. You just did not know what you were looking at. This episode follows the genetic trail of the Mormon pioneer bloodline, from the cotton mills of Lancashire to the handcart trails of the Wasatch Range, and to the one result no laboratory predicted finding.
