Some months ago I linked here to a blog post about a recent genealogical breakthrough thanks to DNA testing.
I've now written a longer blog post about my experiences of autosomal DNA testing, reflecting on the variety of results I've now had, particularly through AncestryDNA. It's also been interesting to see lines confirmed by science that I've been tracing through paper records for 35+ years.
I also wish that I could use science to confirm some of my academic historical research so easily. In that the research process is often very similar to genealogical research, building up a story using scattered and often conflicting bits of evidence. If only it could be DNA tested too!
