CCGS Membership Meeting Note
At our last meeting in November, Russ Hudson provided an update on DNA services used by researchers to assist them in their genealogical research. One topic of discussion was the use of Y-DNA and how FTDNA's Y-700 test was assisting researchers in tearing down their brick walls.
Roberta Estes a well known Genealogist, blogger, author and researcher released a new article on 3 Dec 2021, titled STRs and SNPs - Are STR Markers Still Useful for Y DNA? This is a great article and I encourage you to make time to read this article. It could change your approach to DNA use in genealogical research. Click on the title to access this article.
