FamilyTreeDNA, founded in 2000, was the first--and is still the only--company to offer three kinds of vital DNA testing for genealogy. The Family Finder autosomal DNA test gives your ethnicity breakdown, matches to family members on both the paternal and maternal sides of your family, chromosome browsing and painting, and your X-DNA results. Mitochondrial DNA tests your mother's direct material lines, providing recent matches and deep heritage. Y-DNA tests the direct paternal (surname) line for men, providing matches to males who are both recently and distantly related. This book explains each kind of test and how to incorporate the results into your genealogy. Ms. Estes provides clear, step-by-step instructions for understanding each test and how to deploy them together.
