Are you on the search not only for your ancestors, but a solid understanding of how this DNA- genealogy works? You might identify with someone we talked with recently. Here is her story.

While watching TV one night, our friend saw a special program describing how DNA can be used to trace ancestry. Intrigued, she went to her computer and searched for DNA testing companies. Not knowing anything about any of them, she picked a name she recognized and ordered a kit. The kit came, she sent it back, and waited eagerly for the results.

When the results arrived, she read the report, searched for matches, learned a little bit, but wanted more information and better explanations. She went back to her computer and ultimately landed on GeneTree.com. She created a free GeneTree account, added her DNA profile, and began to explore the website. The tutorials answered her general questions, but she still wanted more information on her specific results. Was there anything more?

When she called GeneTree and asked that question, we offered to give her DNA results a makeover. They got a fresh look as part of a personalized GeneTree report. Her results didn’t come from GeneTree, but she received an understandable summary of DNA fundamentals, an explanation of her personal results, and suggestions for next steps just as if she had ordered a GeneTree test in the first place.

It was exactly what she was looking for!

Her excitement was overflowing as she told us of her plans use her GeneTree report as a reference guide. She was thrilled to have her report in hand to give to family members who know nothing about DNA or genealogy – and help them learn more about the ancestors they share with her. Now she was on the right track to use DNA in her personal genealogy research.
