Product Description

DNA & Genealogy is more than a textbook on DNA analysis for genealogy. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced readers will all find this book fascinating. In addition to tutorials on the use of DNA for genealogy, DNA & Genealogy contains many unusual sidelights on "DNA in the News" and "Weird DNA". Do you know that there are people who have more than one DNA profile? Would you like to know about the DNA analysis of the Tyrolean Iceman? What about DNA and Exo-biology? DNA & Genealogy has all of this and much, much more.

DNA & Genealogy5
DNA & Genealogy by Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick & Andrew Yeiser is a delightful change from the mystifying technical jargon that stops most of us from understanding this fascinating subject. If you want to get your DNA tested and then understand the results: this is the read. It will even help you with the `next steps.'

DNA & Genealogy5
DNA & Genealogy by Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick & Andrew Yeiser is the ideal handbook for anyone starting out in Genealogy using the DNA tools available. It is particularly useful for single surname project administrators. The book is well-written, simple to understand, guiding you through some of the the intricacies of this complex science with gentle care and with no small touch of humour. By the time one reaches the end of this book there will be a basic understanding of the subject of DNA and its uses for genealogy, certainly for the non-scientific layman. Inter dispersed among the pages are several interesting stories and anecdotes. For those of a scientific bent, there are numerous footnotes and website referrals where one can dig further for more detailed scientific knowledge, for which which some of us would shrink. For someone starting or running an existing DNA Surname Project, this is definitely the book to get.

DNA & Geneology5
Colleen Fitzpatrick explained how DNA can be used in geneology so that I could understand it and really enjoyed reading the book. Her book broke the subject down into digestible parts that were understandable by the layman.
