DNA Special Interest Group - 19 Jun 2021

Today's Topic: The Wonderful Toolkit at MyHeritage

We will explore the wonderful toolkit at MyHeritage DNA, and you will see why MyHeritage is a genetic genealogist's dream site. What does MH offer that many of the others don't? Here's a sampling --

• Superior Shared Matching - invaluable for adoptee work
• Chromosome Browsing - essential for true triangulation and Lazarus work
• Certainty around Theory of Relativity predictions
• Cluster Analysis 

About the DNA SIG

This group focuses on learning the methods for analyzing DNA test results. We study topics such as autosomal DNA, mitochondrial DNA, Y-DNA and surname projects, X-DNA and ancestral admixture results. We'll also investigate third-party tools for analyzing your raw data and comparing DNA and gedcom data with test kit results from companies besides the one you tested with.

DNA can break down genealogical brick walls once thought impenetrable – but only if you know how.

This SIG endeavors to be interactive and welcomes your questions. Get ready to put your DNA results to work for you!
