Publisher's Synopsis
In The Case of the Mismatching and Matching DNA, the authors demonstrate, in a step-by-step process, how they identified the father of their adopted six-generation-removed grandfather, who was born about 1776. They also describe discoveries of four new I1-L300 subclades (Y24013, FGC52003, FGC52012, FGC52006), including the ancestors who added two of these four new subclades to the Y-chromosome tree. In the process, they explain how to: read and interpret Y-DNA STR and SNP test results, identify the origins of STR and SNP changes, deduce ancestor STR haplotypes, and prove near and remote paternal-line relationships. Presented in a case study format, this book is practical, informative, and entertaining - the perfect resource for those who want to add DNA analysis to their genealogy kit of tools.
