Are you curious about DNA testing for genealogy? Author and speaker Richard Hill will review the basics of genetic genealogy, the three major test types, and the offerings of five leading companies. You will learn the key factors that impact your results as well as each company's strengths, limitations, and Richard's favorite features. Explore third-party tools that can be used to extract even more information from DNA test results.
Richard will also present "Mastering the MyHeritage DNA Test." Genealogists who overlook or underutilize the MyHeritage DNA test miss out on many great tools. Using examples from his account, Richard will demonstrate these features and show how they can be used productively by genealogists, adoptees, and anyone curious about their family history or ethnic background.
