The field of genetic genealogy is advancing quickly. I have DNA samples at several websites, including 23 and Me, Family Tree DNA, Ancestry and Gedmatch. In order to assist distant relatives in trying to find a connection or matching surnames, I have prepared this page with my direct lineal ancestors. Like most genealogists, I have many brick walls, especially the further back one goes (as well as crossing the pond back to Europe). I currently have 100% of my ancestors traced for the first six generations, 75% of the seventh generation and 43% of the eighth generation.

The Board for Certification of Genealogists now has a page on their website of genetic genealogy resources.

I just started using the program Genome Mate to track my matches. The program is currently free, and I recommend using it. https://www.genomemate.org/

Blaine Bettinger is The Genetic Genealogist and he has some helpful hints on his blog about genetic genealogy. I especially love his X chromosome charts. http://www.thegeneticgenealogist.com/2008/12/21/unlocking-the-genealogical-secrets-of-the-x-chromosome/

Judy G. Russell is The Legal Genealogist who writes weekly on DNA issues. She wrote this article discussing X chromosome inheritance was well as defining IBD (Inheritance by Descent) and IBS (Random Chance). http://www.legalgenealogist.com/blog/2014/03/02/whence-the-x/

Roberta Estes writes the DNAeXplained – Genetic Genealogy blog. She wrote a great post about why predicated cousin matches are often wrong. http://dna-explained.com/2013/10/21/why-are-my-predicted-cousin-relationships-wrong/

A new website called How-To DNA offers lots of advice and videos. http://howtodna.com
