DNA testing can serve as a powerful tool that unlocks the hidden
information within our bodies for family history research. This
book explains how genetic genealogy works and answers the questions
of genealogists and individuals seeking information on their family
trees. Now that DNA testing for genealogical purposes has existed
for nearly a decade and a half-and been refined and improved during
that time-it has established its value among family history
researchers. It is now becoming accepted as another tool in the kit
of well-rounded genealogists. This book covers this fast-growing
application of genetics, empowering genealogists to apply this
information to further their research. It will also enable general
readers to understand how genetic information can be applied to
verify or refute documentary research-and to break down frustrating
walls that block the discovery of ancestors. The book describes the
three major categories of DNA testing for family history research:
Y-chromosome tests for investigating paternal (surname) lines,
mitochondrial tests for investigating maternal (umbilical) lines,
and autosomal tests for exploring close relationships. Expert
genealogist David Dowell provides guidance on deciding which test
to take and identifying which members of your family should be
tested to answer your most important genealogical questions.
Readers will also learn how to interpret the results of tests and
methods for further analysis to get additional value from them.
Presents an overview to genealogical principles and an introduction
to DNA testing for nonexpert audiences Explains how genetic
genealogy can provide data from within our bodies that tells us
about who we are, who our ancestors were, and what characteristics
our descendants may have Addresses key legal and ethical issues
regarding DNA testing Describes the accepted protocols of DNA
collection, handling, processing, evaluation, and interpretation
that make DNA information more reliable than the other kinds of
genealogical information
