DNA Testing Explained
With the advent of DNA testing genealogy research has been propelled into the 21st century. Get ready to be captivated and conveyed along with it as the authors take you through the subject.

This is a great book and there is a lot to be learnt from it whether you are still just thinking about using DNA or have already dived in. It is written in plain language that anyone can comprehend and it explains the whole process of how to use DNA as a genealogical tool. It is both a book that you can't put down and one that you'll continually refer back to after you have received your test results and are working with them.

DNA testing is easy to understand after you've read this and you'll realise what DNA can do for your research. Without it I would be struggling to appreciate the concept of this new topic and would not know what to do with my results or nor how to interpret the information they provide. Highly recommended.

Although this book is not for everyone, if you have successfully passed high school biology, you should be able to manage the information and its technology in this excellent reference. Wouldn't it be interesting for a man and his wife to go back in time to discover about when they might have had an ancestor in common? DNA testing and analysis had give you that and much more. It can even give you an idea what part of the world your pre-historical ancestors lived and migrated to. The authors practice what they preach and tell how we can do it too, with many DNA labs and companies listed and compared. We rated this book four hearts.

Another Happy Customer
This is a great book for all of us folks who are new to this DNA testing business for genealogy. It's written in a style that, for the most part, cuts through the techno-jargon as much as possible and speaks to me in my own language. The sidebar stories are fascinating. Super book!
