Episode 13 - Know Your Resources: Genetics, Genealogy & the Language of DNA (Part 1)
When tracing your ancestry, it’s important to know your resources, especially when we are talking about genetic history. It’s important to know what options you have and how to assess them once identified. To help us in this quest, we will have two guests discuss 1) the fundaments of genetic testing and 2) the components of genetic genealogy. Geneticist Dr. Janina Jeff, and genetic genealogist Shannon Christmas will discuss the dangers, mechanics and use of genealogical DNA testing.
Our two guests
