DNA … a great way to connect to your ancestors, discover new cousins, and break through brick walls. Finally, you can discover where your family came from even if you can’t find the records. DNA is another tool to enhance your genealogical research.
The March 2019 Stirpes focuses on “Navigating the DNA Maze,” with great articles on tools and techniques for analyzing your DNA plus some success stories from fellow genealogists.
- Andy Lee describes his introduction to DNA and the amazing results in “Beginning a DNA Journey.”
- Once started on that DNA journey, most genealogists become overwhelmed with the deluge of data. Dana Leeds shows a way through the clutter using the Leeds Method with “Use DNA Match Clusters to Organize and Analyze Your Shared Matches.”
- “YDNA and Autosomnal DNA—They Can Work Together,” by Larry Youngblood, Project Administrator for the Youngblood YDNA project, shows how he used YDNA and atDNA to solve a particularly difficult research problem.
- Dozens of stories from Stirpes readers show how the average genealogist is using DNA to further their genealogical research.
In addition to DNA, this issue of Stirpes includes an East Texas family tree developed from a few family record pages from an old Bible, more information about the Texas Institute of Genealogical Research (TIGR) slated June 10-14 in Austin, the Partner Society Roundup, and more.
