DNA! The new tool in the genealogist’s toolbox.

Everyone’s jumping on the bandwagon. Yet, many people, when they receive their test results, have no idea what to do with them. This episode provides suggestions for those who took either a Y-DNA test or a mtDNA test. If your direct paternal or direct maternal line leads back to Quebec or Acadia, you can play a part in determining our pioneer ancestors’ DNA signature. You can verify whether or not your paper trail is correct.

Guest Denis Beauregard, administrator or co-administrator of more than forty DNA projects, explains the purpose of these projects, how to join one, the benefits of joining, and what to do after you’ve joined one. Then he takes us through a French, an Acadian, and a surname project.

Come discover if joining a project is right for you. Check out the show notes at https://maplestarsandstripes.com/81.
