Follow Friday – Your Genetic Genealogist

If you are interested in the use of DNA for genealogy research, you may want to follow the "Your Genetic Genealogist" blog. The author of the blog, CeCe Moore, is issuing a series entitled DNA Testing for Genealogy. Since I am having my DNA analysis done, I am very curious about all that I do not know about this approach to genealogy. 

The blog's header reads:

YOUR GENETIC GENEALOGIST

Some of the most recent titles for the blog include:

  • Latest News from Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation and GeneTree
