DNA in Genealogy Research
Are you using all the genealogy sources available to you, including the information hidden in your DNA? Genetic tests for the purposes of understanding heritage have already been around for two decades—but many researchers have yet to take full advantage of the potential DNA has to enrich their family tree.
In this session, you’ll learn about:
- The different types of genetic tests available
- Interpreting “ethnicity” estimates
- How to get started with your individual matches
- Additional tools to assist with your genetic genealogy work
- Examples of meaningful connections that were unlocked by DNA testing!
