Comparing kits to a known relative when multiple siblings have tested A year ago I wrote an article, Part 1, about the theoretical best way to use the kits of multiple siblings to help determine relationships of your DNA matches. More recently, in Part 2, I tested...

A year ago I wrote an article about the best way, theoretically, to use DNA kits from multiple siblings. How does it hold up to testing? Remember to take advantage of the number of segments for drastically better relationship predictions. In Part 1 of this series we...

A DNA tester has a few different options to see the possible relationships for their matches, including at the testing sites themselves. A new one has functionality like no other. I used to not be a fan of relationship prediction for genetic genealogy, wondering why...

It will be hard to capture all of the discoveries that have been made and posted at this site in the past twelve months. A year ago I was using a very basic natural model of genetic inheritance. I had been publishing averages and ranges of shared DNA for relationships...

Small segments affect most of our matches, whether we think we’re using them or not. I don’t know that I would call it a debate, but the discussion about low centiMorgan (cM) DNA segments continues with fervor. And I almost never hear any arguments from the...
