​DNA with Helen Smith


Developing a DNA Research Plan
& Organising Results

Having a plan and being organised is necessary in any genealogical research and DNA testing is no exception. Determining the question, the DNA test most appropriate for the problem, analysing the results are all necessary steps for any DNA research whether looking for unknown parentage or to determine where an unknown match may fit into your family.
​
GedMatch - Genesis
GEDmatch is a powerful third party tool that can be used in addition (not instead of) the tools already available at your DNA testing company site for analysing autosomal DNA results. It accepts DNA result uploads from many different companies so is a chance to compare cousin results across companies.

​Helen V.  Smith is the author of Death Certificates and Archaic Medical Terms and has written for a number of publications including 'Inside History', 'Australian Family Tree Connections', Forgotten Times, other family history journals as well as scientific publications.
