Reviews"[This] Guide to DNA Testing offers a lot of information for the beginner and advanced researcher alike...[and] is easy to read and comprehend" -- Bobbi King for Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter "There are very few titles on my book shelf in my genealogy office that I refer to constantly. I know that The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy will be one of those titles for years to come. I don't think I could have made some of my recent progress in my research without the valuable information provided by a knowledgeable DNA [expert] like Blaine Bettinger." -- Thomas MacEntee "Informative. Understandable. Solid." -- Judy Russell , The Legal Genealogist "[Bettinger] describes, in the simplest of terms, how to begin using genetic technologies to connect with both close and more distant members of our great human family." -- Jennifer Wagner for Genome magazine
