​DNA with Kerry Farmer


I've done my DNA test, what's next?
How do you get better value out of the money you’ve paid for a DNA test? This talk introduces the different DNA tests as well as some of the free tools available at GEDmatch.

​Combining DNA with Traditional Genealogy
DNA alone does not solve most genealogical “brick walls”, but by combining DNA information with traditional genealogy, problems can be solved that were otherwise impossible.
