At one time, STR tests were all that was available, but now, SNPs have been added to our arsenal. SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) are extremely stable and reliable mutations. I’m getting ready to record a new Y-DNA webinar, and I’m giving you a sneak peek of a couple of my...
If your cousin can’t remember your daughter’s middle name and wants it for genealogy, I’m sure that’s fine to answer too, just not in any kind of a public forum. To some degree, Facebook is always public. It’s social media, after all. Message, email or call your cousin with...

The phenomenal success of Family Tree DNA in taking over the lion’s share of testing means that other companies out there must find income by discovering new SNPs to test. One of the most successful of late has been EthnoAncestry. Their much publicized S21 marker is attracting many participan...
Very interesting, I am new to Genetic Genealogy, I have been researching my ancestry for a long time, but I am going in circles on one DNA match. I definitely feel having my cousins test themselves and adding their DNA is a great way to discount possibilities. My dad’s first cousin ha...
In this study, a multiplex mtDNA single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assay was devised to assign maternally inherited mtDNA to one of 15 haplogroups using 11 defining SNPs and a deletion. 145 DNA samples were unambiguously assigned to one of 12 haplogroups (three haplogroups were not...
