    Sort throught the maze of DNA options and understand it all (really)!
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2017*

I'm a self-taught genealogist who's spent way too much time over the years piecing family trees together over the years....with a lot of success.  I've fought getting involved in the DNA side of things for years.  I'm not one who ever had an easy time in biology or the sciences...., and it just seemed intimidating and impersonal.  BUT....I was up against a huge wall with one of my husband's family lines and I could either quit....or try DNA.  I decided to take the DNA plunge....and after reading every page of this book, I'm ashamed that I waited so long to get on the bandwagon.  This author makes things super simple to understand....and provides so many helpful illustrations that break down the information into understandable blocks powerful knowledge.  What is even better?  The DNA market is hard to understand if you don't know what you are doing....If you are confused about whether to go with Ancestry's test, or one of the products on FamilyTreeDNA or 23AndME.....this is THE BOOK.  It'll help you invest your dollars in the tests the will be the most help....right from the get-go....AND understand the results!!!  This book is gold.  Thanks Blaine T. Bettinger.  I was on Ancestry's DNA support forum asking questions....and another user referred me to the book and told me I could get it all right here.  He was right.

    An Owner's Manual for Your DNA
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2016*

This 240-page book is the most complete and up-to-date resource on genetic genealogy. While some material is too advanced for raw beginners, you will want this comprehensive book on hand as you work your way through the DNA testing process. Blaine clearly explains all the different DNA types and their individual inheritance patterns. Then he adds lots of supplementary information, including a great list of More Resources. Blaine naturally encourages readers to read his book from start to finish. But not many people read their vehicle owner's manual before taking their new car for a ride. Likewise, you don't need 100% of this knowledge before jumping into the exciting world of DNA testing. Furthermore, each topic will make much more sense when you have your own results to look at. Do read enough to understand the key points. For example, it's important to know that autosomal DNA passes on random selections of each parent's DNA. But you can get by without knowing exactly HOW recombination occurs. The subject of X-DNA inheritance confuses even experienced testers. So just skip that chapter until (and if) you encounter a situation where an understanding of X-DNA is needed. The book is available in both print and Kindle formats. I purchased the print version due to the many excellent tables and illustrations.

    A Must-Have reference book for beginner or professional.
  

*by P***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2016*

There are other books out there about DNA testing for genealogy, but this one is head and shoulders above. It presents up to date information for this evolving field, introducing the science of genetic genealogy in easy to understand chapters.The three types of DNA testing are discussed, sorting out the advantages and limitations of each. The author leads you through how to interpret your own results, and how to use available tools to get the most thorough analysis. He discusses ethical issues surrounding "surprises" in your DNA and searching for birth parents. Simple charts illustrate the points he makes.Whether you are a professional genealogist or just curious about your genetic makeup, this book will be an excellent reference source for many years to come.
