DNA Testing for genealogy - the basics (Donna Rutherford)
Channel: Genetic Genealogy Ireland
Date: 2018-11-16

This introductory talk on DNA for genealogy outlines how the different type of DNA tests can help your research and which one is best for the particular research question you have in mind. I cover how to get started, how the tests work, and which test is best for you, using case studies of each type of test.
