The Second Middle Passage: Following the DNA Trails
“I so appreciate how you broke down how you use your DNA matches to discover family links and ancestors. I was fascinated because I’ve been trying to figure out the steps to take to get the information I need. I’ve watched other webinars, talked to a friend who really seems to know what she’s doing (triangulation, etc.), and watched DNA Detective, but nothing has really “clicked.” Your webinar made it simple and easy to understand what to do first, second and so on.” – VIEWER
