Best Answer

Not necessarily. You can trace back your family tree with good research. You may be able to go back hundreds of years. It depends on how far you want to be able to go back. DNA may only be of use if you have other people to test. You can't really do that without knowing who to test. That will take some research to find out who might be related to you. So you will need to do your research, with or without DNA.
