You Can DO the DNA #4-See What DNA Success Looks Like: Real Case Studies

Whether you haven’t taken a DNA test or you did but got discouraged and abandoned the effort, it’s time to take another look. In 2024, DNA can answer family history questions so much more powerfully than it could even five years ago. More people have tested, and more tools and strategies have been developed to help you find answers. More accurate and precise ethnicity results point more meaningfully to ancestral places and populations. Come learn what’s possible and how to set a good DNA goal (like identifying an unknown ancestor, finding or verifying birth roots, connecting with distant relatives or figuring out where an ancestor was from). Learn about picking the right test(s) for your goal and how to turn test results into meaningful family history answers. The best news is that you don’t have to be a scientist to make DNA discoveries. You can do the DNA-yes, even YOU!

I wish you would not call it cheating. The end result that is wanted is the goal. Not how you got there, when it is given by Ancestry, as it should be for what we pay for a year of service.

I've found numbers 1, 2, and 4 but not #3 and #5. Have they been posted but not numbered, or....?

Number 5 was a separate webinar that happened this week. I can't find number 3 either though.

I like adding ancestor names to notes of my matches so when I look at a group I can spot common names (one day!). If I was working on this case I'd do Jackson/Harding=Jones/Long and so on, each with a new line. If I can exclude a certain branch then no need to include those so when I see someone with ancestors called Jackson and Jones I can investigate a link This will be a lot easier when Ancestry add how much DNA your shared matches have in common with each other later in 2024 and sideview at grandparents level whenever they figure that out
