Adding DNA to Your Family Tree

The link below goes to an article by Susan Meates published in the bookzine Discover your Ancestors.

This article describes the different DNA tests available for family history research, and how to prioritize and utilize these tests.

For Y-DNA testing, extensive information is provided to estimate your odds of having a match.

A case study from The Ricketts Family History Project covers how a Y-DNA match was combined with traditional genealogical research to overcome a decades old brick wall.

DNA testing is a tremendous opportunity to discover information beyond the paper records, and to break through brick walls.
