Genealogy: To DNA or not to DNA?
... DNA has become so familiar to genetic genealogists. We hear them talking, using strange terms that some of us have never heard before. We are left shaking our heads, afraid to admit that we don’t understand what the letters DNA stand for. Let me explain. DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid, is considered t ...
