Your DNA Guide - the Book

You don't have to learn everything about genetic genealogy before asking specific DNA questions. Your DNA Guide –the Book is a unique new approach to learning genetic genealogy. Using your DNA test results from companies like AncestryDNA, MyHeritage DNA and 23andMe, you’ll choose a specific DNA question and start exploring it right away. Follow concrete, step-by-step plans, learning important DNA concepts–in plain English–as you go. Your DNA Guide–the Book is for anyone who has taken a DNA test. It helps genealogists reconstruct family trees. It helps adoptees identify biological relatives. It can help you identify a specific DNA match. In short, it helps anyone explore what their DNA—and their DNA matches—can tell them about their family.
