Title: The Complete Guide to FamilyTreeDNA: Y-DNA, Mitochondrial, Autosomal, and X-DNA

FamilyTreeDNA, founded in 2000, was the first—and is still the only—company to offer three kinds of vital DNA testing for genealogy:

• The Family Finder autosomal DNA test
• The Mitochondrial DNA test
• The Y-DNA test

For Both New and Existing Customers!

This book explains each kind of test and how to incorporate the results into your genealogy. Author Roberta Estes provides clear step-by-step instructions for understanding each test and how to deploy them together. If you’ve already tested at FamilyTreeDNA, this book helps you to understand and use your results most productively. If you’re a newcomer, you will learn which test(s) to start with, how to upgrade later as warranted, and how to fine-tune your results.
