Would you like to learn more about the gen ealogical uses of Y-DNA or finding biological family through DNA testing? In the first of two presentations\, Richard Hill will explain how adoptees and others find biological parents and siblings through DNA testing. Lear n about the case that started it all and see today&rsquo\;s recommended st rategies. View examples of surprise discoveries and see the tools used to identify relationships. In his second presentation\, learn how Y-DNA testi ng of suitable males can trace and confirm paternal lines in your family t ree\, how to choose the right test\, and how to work with your genetic mat ches. Examples cover STRs\, \;SNPs\, genetic distance\, match threshol ds\, TIP reports\, the Y-DNA tree\, haplogroups\, group projects\, account settings\, and more.
\nRichard Hill did not plan to be a pioneer. H e was just an adoptee trying to identify unknown birth parents. Yet his in novative application of DNA testing put him on the front page of The W all Street Journal. Later\, he shared the story of his decades-long s earch in his award-winning book\, Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Se crets in My DNA. Now\, thousands of adoptees are following Richard&rsq uo\;s path\, using genetic genealogy \;DNA tests to bypass sealed birt h records and unite with their first families. Countless more adults are d iscovering new genetic relatives and extending and confirming their family trees. For more information on Richard and genetic genealogy\, see his we bsite \;DNAFavorites.
