Suzanne has been tracing her family tree ever since she was a very young teenager. Recently we have taken DNA testing to help trace our family tree.
If we were very new to genealogy, this book would have been very helpful. For anyone who has not yet had their DNA tested, this book is a great tool. It is not very long, but has lots of information that would be very useful to anyone who is just starting out.
If you are contemplating tracing your family tree using DNA testing, this book will help point you in the right direction.

Very basic
If you know nothing at all about being tested for DNA ethnicity this is fine .I It describes the various organizations which do DNA and how to use the sites. It does NOT describe how the percentages of ethnicity are figured. I thought it would, so this book was useless for me. Ethnicity is not straight across the board roof percentages. If your mother is Irish and your father is Italian your genes probably aren't .going to reflect a 50/50 Irish/Italian. This is due to random assortment of genes and genes are not inherited strictly by the numbers. You may or may not have received any of your mother's underlying Scandinavian genes even though your family tree shows that background. Spend more money on a book that really explains how to use DNA results, instead

This is a companion resource for the major DNA testing products. References and instructions are very useful to enhance understanding.

Informative for the beginner
Informative. Gives a nice foundation for beginners. Clear and concise. I did like that there were links included to additional DNA websites.
