DNA Information

Video Primer

The following link takes you to a webpage where very brief, but very helpful videos, will give you the basics on genetic genealogy.  I highly recommend taking the time to watch each one.

Y-DNA Databases

These databases allow for input of results from all the testing companies, so they're a mechanism for finding DNA matches with people who were tested by companies other than the one you used.  I highly recommend you enter your results into all of them.
