Family Tree DNA was the first--and still is the only--company to offer three kinds of vital DNA testing for genealogy: the Family Tree Finder autosomal DNA (and also X-DNA results), Mitochondrial DNA, and Y-DNA. 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. In addition to the value of your personal test results, you will discover how joining Surname and other DNA Group Projects supported by Family Tree DNA promotes collaboration between genealogists with similar research interests. This book will help you to locate the most beneficial projects to join in order to maximize the value of your investment in DNA testing.

This guidebook makes use of multiple full-color visual aids. You will see screenshots like the ones you can expect to view on your computer; roadmaps and checklists with instructions on how to proceed; plus an extensive glossary to help you decipher the technical language associated with DNA testing.
