This review is from: DNA & Genealogy (Paperback)
DNA & Genealogy by Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick & Andrew Yeiser is a delightful change from the mystifying technical jargon that stops most of us from understanding this fascinating subject. If you want to get your DNA tested and then understand the results: this is the read. It will even help you with the `next steps.'

This review is from: DNA & Genealogy (Paperback)
DNA & Genealogy by Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick & Andrew Yeiser is the ideal handbook for anyone starting out in Genealogy using the DNA tools available. It is particularly useful for single surname project administrators. The book is well-written, simple to understand, guiding you through some of the the intricacies of this complex science with gentle care and with no small touch of humour. By the time one reaches the end of this book there will be a basic understanding of the subject of DNA and its uses for genealogy, certainly for the non-scientific layman. Inter dispersed among the pages are several interesting stories and anecdotes. For those of a scientific bent, there are numerous footnotes and website referrals where one can dig further for more detailed scientific knowledge, for which which some of us would shrink. For someone starting or running an existing DNA Surname Project, this is definitely the book to get.

This review is from: DNA & Genealogy (Paperback)
DNA & Genealogy is delightful to read! It is very well written, well organized, logical and very informative. It provides basic information necessary for understanding DNA, the history of DNA progress, a description of the practical applications, such as inherited diseases and criminal identification. The book's main emphasis, however, is on Y and Mitochondrial DNA Testing for Genealogical Surname Data Base comparisons and analysis. And, on this topic it does a really superb job of providing detailed, comprehensive data, with tables and analysis regarding haplotyes and surname test matching results, mis-matches, etc., along with information on associated web-sites and test labs. All of this is coupled with very interesting and often humorous anecdotal stories that make the complicated science of DNA & haplotypes "real" and therefore understandable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the book, particularly for those interested in Y and Mitochondrial DNA Testing for Surname Database analysis.
