I often get emails from people who are new to genetic genealogy asking questions about their newly-received DNA testing results. They are unsure about about what the results mean, how to find more information, or what to do next. I also see people ask these questions in all of the DNA forums and mailing lists that I subscribe to. Although I do my best to help the people that email me, I often wish there was more I could do.
In an attempt to assist people with the interpretation of their genetic genealogy testing results, I’ve written an eBook that takes the reader step-by-step through an analysis of their Y-DNA or mtDNA results, including estimating a haplogroup and sub-clade from testing results, finding resources to learn more about particular haplogroups, and finding haplogroup and haplotype matches, among many other topics. Here is the Table of Contents from the 28-page eBook:
Chapter 1: What Is (And Isn’t) Genetic Genealogy?
Chapter 2: How Do I Interpret My Y-DNA Results?
Chapter 3: How Do I Interpret My mtDNA Results?
Chapter 4: Monitoring the Field of Genetic Genealogy
I’m offering this eBook for free to anyone that might be interested in interpreting the results of their genetic genealogy test. And please feel free to share this eBook with your friends, mailing list, or anyone else. Without further ado:
Congratulations on the release of your ebook Blaine! I know it will be very popular. It’s just what is needed in the field of genetic genealogy.

I’m very glad that you enjoyed the eBook Ricardo! And thank you for helping to spread the word. I really think this could help a lot of people demystify genetic genealogy.
Thanks for the concise, understandable prose in both e-books. I’ve read them both and I’m certain the information will be useful as I explore the new Sorenson-GeneTree offer.

Craig – I’m happy that you found the eBook to be understandable, and I hope you find it useful while continuing your research!
Family lore is that we are related to Andrew Jackson who we know did not have any children, but his infamous adopted hephew, that is Rachel’s nephew,was a “ROUNDER” per the attendent at the Hermitage. If we could rediscover a marraige record for Augustus Lane Sanborn/Samborne/Sanborne and Laura Ann Jackson, in about 1865, my grandfather, their son was born March 18, 1866 in Greenbay Wisconsin, perhaps we could identify her parentage, both documented and “UNDOCUMENTED”, Perhaps she was am
undocumented daughter of Andrew Jackson Junior.
I will pay for any and all documentation.
Best personal regrardes,
