AUTOSOMAL
DNA: TESTING FOR ALL GENEALOGICAL LINES:
Autosomal DNA testing is the most complex to analyze, but it is often
the most useful because we inherit autosomal DNA from all our
ancestral lines. This session will instruct on understanding and
analyzing results as well as strategies for test subject recruitment.
AUTOSOMAL
DNA DATA: WORKING THE RESULTS:
Many tools for analyzing autosomal DNA have become available. This
session will instruct on how these tools can advance the
identiication
of common ancestors. However, genuine success in DNA testing requires
correlation of the test results with quality genealogical
scholarship. Examples
will
be presented.
GEDMATCH:
AN INVALUABLE TOOL FOR AUTOSOMAL DNA ANALYSIS:
All three DNA testing companies have some limitations. GEDmatch
provides a means to compare DNA with testers from other companies.
Not only does it enlarge the testing pool for comparison, it allows
in-depth analysis of matching DNA segments to further possibilities
for
conirming
or identifying unknown ancestors.
ESSENTIAL
RESEARCH: COLLATERAL LINES:
Collateral lines are those people who descend from the same people
you do, but are not your ancestors. They are your ancestors' siblings
and their descendants. This presentation will provide examples of how
researching collateral lines solved research problems and will
inspire you to do the same.
