Good for beginners, it outlines how to use Y-DNA and mtDNA test results to help identify ancestors quite nicely.
However, I was a bit disappointed in the coverage of autosomal DNA testing, which is the big thing these days, That chapter is just an add-on to a previously existing book. I had hoped that a newly published book would have more information on the newer methodology.

This is a must read book if you want to learn more about the very complex topic of genetic genealogy. The book isn't always easy reading - I found myself rereading many sections to be sure I understood - but Ms. Aulicino has provided an invaluable reference guide for anyone interested in DNA testing with its many possibilities. The information is presented in a well organized and logical manner. In addition, it contains a wealth of links for further study or broader detail about a topic of interest.

If you are just beginning to learn about genetic genealogy, this book may seem too difficult to understand. I have one suggestion - keep reading. Then read the book again. and click all the links and read that information. It will start to make sense, honest.

Genetic genealogy is a very new science, changing almost as we speak. Many consider it to be the future of genealogy. Those of us who are testing and learning and trying to make sense of all the data are the pioneers. Emily Aulicino has given us a much needed road map to point us in the right direction.
