| The Ideal Book to Learn about Genetic Genealogy! |
DNA & Genealogy was introduced
at the Family Tree DNA Second
International Conference on
Genetic Genealogy held in
November 2005 at National
Geographic Headquarters in
Washington DC. DNA & Genealogy
is a follow-on to Forensic
Genealogy, and gives a more
detailed explanation on what you
can learn through Y- and mtDNA
testing. There are also sections on
how to find out if your surname
already has a DNA study in
progress, how to join a study, and
how to form your own.

Attending a conference on Y-DNA surname projects, as I just did, without first
reading your book, "DNA and Genealogy", is akin to being dropped into a Tibetan
village where nobody speaks English...you know people are talking to each other, but
you don't have a clue what they're talking about. (SNiPs?...those are what I used to
cut out of my mother’s apple pies, hoping she wouldn’t notice). Your book should be
read by everyone struggling to understand this fascinating new science.
