The test kit was on sale. You bought one, dutifully deposited your saliva in the plastic tube and mailed it in. Now, a few weeks later the results arrive: haplotypes and ethnicity estimates, something about earwax type, and a giant list of 537 people who are (apparently) your kinfolk. It is all a bit overwhelming.
In this talk we’ll cut through the distractions and walk you through the exact steps to find, organize, and interpret shared matches using a technique that works with all the major DNA testing services. It can be done with a spreadsheet, a word processor, or even a stack of index cards. Join us to learn how to make sense of the chaos and start extracting genealogical value from your DNA.
No prior background with genetic genealogy is assumed.
