  by Elise

  This class will focus on genetic genealogy ‐‐ DNA testing as a tool for genealogy. We'll review the "traditional" genetic genealogy tests ‐‐ Y‐DNA and mtDNA ‐‐ which can identify relatives on the direct paternal or direct maternal line. We'll then discuss Family Finder, which utilizes recent advances in autosomal DNA testing to identify relatives via any ancestral line.
