This introduction to genetic genealogy-related DNA testing will cover the types of tests available (autosomal, yDNA, and mtDNA) and discuss the types of genealogical questions each can help to answer. The pros and cons of testing with various companies (particularly for autosomal testing) will be covered, as will strategies for transferring results from one company to others. You will learn what results will look like with each type of test and what your initial steps should be once your results are in. This talk will also discuss the reliability of ethnicity estimates.
