Questions about DNA testing, where to test and understanding your DNA matches? This FREE program covers the basics of genetic genealogy, DNA testing, and how to figure out where that unknown match fits in your tree. 

Learn how to cluster DNA matches using the Leeds Method, or in Ancestry and GEDMatch, and the next steps to figuring out unknown DNA matches. Learn how to find biological parents for adoption cases and mis-attributed parentage cases, and how the process is used in Doe cases and in law enforcement cold cases.
