This presentation will outline some strategies that DNA testers might use to help determine the identity of a DNA match. Identifying who our DNA matches are can enable us to discover where we connect with our DNA cousins, or at least get us closer to the answer. Gail will use two case studies she has pursued as examples of this process.
