Must-Watch DNA Presentation: A Step-by-Step Approach to Analyzing Your Autosomal DNA Matches

3/2/2014

0 Comments

 
The 2014 Who Do You Think You Are? Live conference took place a couple of weeks ago in London and included DNA presentations. Fortunately for those of us who weren't there, many of these have been uploaded to YouTube. I highly recommend the one by Maurice Gleeson entitled Autosomal DNA – a Step-by-Step Approach to Analysing your atDNA Matches. Unfortunately there's some background noise from the exhibition hall, but don't let that put you off (and you will stop noticing it after a short while).

Step-by-Step Approach to Analyzing Your atDNA Matches (55:07)

Maurice outlines 4 "Steps for Success": 
  • Start with your closest matches
  • Share your tree
  • Develop a relationship with your matches
  • Keep track of what you've done
I have 2 others:
  • Familiarize yourself with Autosomal DNA Statistics on the International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG) wiki
  • Follow Maurice Gleeson's tips in his YouTube video opposite, as he has a lot of useful approaches, especially for eliminating non-contenders. I wish this had been available when I was a total beginner – I've eventually fumbled my way to doing the same things.
Other DNA lectures from the 2014 WDYTYA? conference are available Here. I've added a new webpage, Presentations on DNA Testing, which includes a range of webinars and podcasts for those who have undergone DNA testing, which I'll keep adding to – previously I included these within a page of links on general genealogy webinars, but I think they deserve a page of their own. If you've been tested at Family Tree DNA, don't miss their excellent, comprehensive series, which has topics of interest for those who have only just received their DNA results through to those with an advanced understanding – their latest webinar covers the "Big Y", as the first results started to come through a few days ago. Maurice Gleeson, Debbie Kennett, and Katherine Borges, who all gave presentations at the 2014 WDYTYA? show, also participated in Genetic Genealogy Ireland 2013, and many of the presentations at this 3-day event are available on YouTube on that link. Additional videos covering more general genetic genealogy topics, rather than specifically dealing with handling and interpretation of DNA results, are available Here.
