using autosomal DNA as an aid to ancestral research

I am giving this presentation at the British Isles Family History Society - USA meeting in Los Angeles today.

 

This kind of test may help people who are having trouble narrowing down a location in their country or county of origin.

    You might be interested in the work of Dr O'Reilly in the Irish DNA Atlas Project:

      Ah yes, I've read about the Atlas project.  Where I read about it elsewhere it said they want 100% full-blooded Irish whose great-grandparents were all within a reasonable distance from each other...

      The problem is I'm only 50% Irish and very few of my full Irish relatives are interested in contributing to something like this.  :(

      I may try again and mention it in my Christmas correspondence.

       

      Thanks
