Introducing DNA for family research (Ann Marie Coghlan)
Channel: Genetic Genealogy Ireland
Date: 2018-10-11

Why should we add DNA to our personal genealogy toolkit? Ann Marie explains the basics of DNA testing and how we can use genetic genealogy research in understanding not only our own personal family history but also our community history. This is an excellent talk for complete beginners who have never tested before, and a great refresher for those who already have.
