http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2012/07/getting-started-in-ge netic-genealogy.html There will be more articles in the coming weeks and links will be posted on Dick Eastman's Blog which is where this came from. Either myself or Cheri will post them as they become available. Some of the questions this series of articles will answer: * Do you have a general curiosity about genetic genealogy or is your focus more specific? Are you primarily interested in researching your surname? * Are there specific brick walls that you wish to target with the use of DNA testing? * How far back in your family tree are these brick walls? * What is the ancestral pattern back to these brick walls, i.e.- mother's mother's mother or father's mother's mother's father? * Are you ready for a long-term project or do you desire quick answers? * Are there adoptions in your family tree that you would like to explore? * Is your primary interest receiving a percentage breakdown of your overall ancestral origins or "ethnicity"?
