About this item:

You don't have to learn everything about genetic genealogy before asking (and answering!) specific DNA questions.That’s the premise of Your DNA Guide -the Book, a unique new approach to learning genetic genealogy. Instead of learning more-than-you-need-to-know in textbook style, you’ll choose a specific DNA question and start exploring it right away. Follow concrete step-by-step plans, learning important DNA concepts--in plain English—as you go. As you proceed, you will check your progress and be guided based on your specific results at each stage. This powerful, hands-on approach is based on the author’s 20 years of experience in the genetic genealogy industry, including five years of one-on-one client mentoring.Your DNA Guide -the Book is for anyone who has taken a DNA test or may want to. It helps genealogists reconstruct family trees. It helps adoptees identify biological relatives. It can help you identify a specific DNA match. In short, it helps anyone explore what their DNA—and their DNA matches—can tell them about their family.

Review

"It's definitely not a 'big overview of DNA testing' book, but instead a 'let's get down and dirty and solve a brickwall problem' book. And we definitely need a book like this." - Drew Smith, The Genealogy Guys Podcast and Genealogy Connection Podcast

A very interesting and thought provoking book. I've taken a ancestry DNA test and got some thought provoking results. I've been thinking about putting me test results into another tester but didn't know which one after reading this book I've got a couple and also I'm now looking at other tests I can take that this book has highlighted.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Guide to using DNA for everyone

C.W. · 1 April 2024

This book is aimed at those who have taken a DNA test and wish to use their results to assist with their family history researches. There are step by step instructions to lead the reader through what can be quite a daunting process. Diahan Southard, the author, is a first rate communicator and her clarity of thought shines through the pages of this book.

Written for novices to DNA research in a clear concise basic way, and helpful to get to know what to do with your DNA matches when they appear. I found the book helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as easy as it looks

O. · 30 October 2023

I've had the book for 3 weeks now. It looked easy on YouTube but despite the price I bought it. Personally I think it is very expensive. The graphics seem to shout in an unpleasant way, plus the wording doesn't flow in an easy manner. I will persevere because it was so expensive. But I can't say I like it or that it has helped. Thumbs down for me!

3.0 out of 5 stars Reference Book.

J.N. · 14 January 2022

This is not a reading book to readbetween the ads when watching TV. It's heavy reading and requires your and your friends fingers in many pages while you are using the computer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, overall

Very disjointed - lot of page flicking to find fuller descriptions. I felt it was a vanity project to get people to pay for all her online info leaflets.

loved this book helps explain things well about dna

Unreadable to say the least

J.A. · 8 January 2023

It was disappointing to find such a weird formatting on an ebook. The way it was formatted makes reading it a stressful experience and works against the good content it offers.

Easy to read and apply

J.T. · 3 March 2021

Having done a webinar by Diahan Southard and liking her practical style, this book is very straight forward and easy to read and follow.

A most excellent, helpful guide to finding missing ancestors.

K. · 13 January 2024

This book is a must for any serious genealogist. Using it, I was able to find three sets of 3rd great grandparents who had been missing form my family tree for years. One set was on my father's side, and two sets were on my mother's side. These ancestors had stumped some of the best genealogists around using only paper trails. Identification would have been impossible without DNA and this book.

An easy to read guide to understanding DNA
