DNA Tools You Can Use

presented by

Connie Davis

Building genetic networks based on shared common ancestral couples forms the backbone of autosomal DNA analysis. Tools not available at the big testing companies can help, especially when your ancestors might descend from endogamous communities. We’ll take a look at WikiTree’s DNA features, some key tools at GEDmatch, and review how YDNA and mtDNA offer new insight into our ancestry.
