Case Study: Using Multiple DNA Sites to Investigate a Hidden Ancestral
Line by Greg Liverman
Not all of your relatives’ test at the same DNA testing site. We will discuss how to combine the evidence from multiple DNA testing sites to establish evidence of relationships. In this case study we will investigate a series of matches who did not appear to link into my ancestral lines. Through careful research of my matches on three different autosomal testing sites and combining that evidence into one master tree, it
became apparent how these matches were related to me. Some of the DNA analysis techniques we will encounter are: using trees attached to DNA kits, techniques for identifying the real identity of a match and evaluating the amount of DNA to estimate the number of generations to a common ancestor. Greg launched Pinewood Genealogy with his wife, Wendy Dillenschneider, to help others with their research and genetic genealogy (DNA) analysis. Registration required at www.crcgs.org.
