Do you have DNA results and wonder what to do with them-or perhaps wonder whether it is worth the expense to take a DNA test and if so, which one? The seminar, presented in two parts, will provide a general introduction to DNA Genealogy and include sections on understanding mt DNA, Y-DNA, and Autosomal DNA results.
