Much has been made of the potential of DNA testing to revolutionize how we research our family history. But how does it work? What can it reveal about our family? How does it complement traditional types of research? Learn about the three major test types - YDNA, mitochondrial (mtDNA) and the newest autosomal DNA testing - and see what each offers to the genealogist.
