DNA Special Interest Group

Welcome!

Taking a DNA test can not only help you discover your ethnicity but it can also help you find cousins, which can expand your genealogy and broaden your tree. But sometimes the results can be confusing.

Join us to learn where you should DNA test and why, and what your results mean. You’ll also learn about tools to help you analyze and stay organized.

DNA Research at the Library

Featured Library Resources

The AGS Edmonton Branch Library is a unique destination library for all family history researchers. We have a growing collection of resources related to German genealogy. Here is a short sampling of those resources

The Family Tree: Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy by Blaine Bettinger (A great resource if you're getting started on DNA research)
DNA for Native American Genealogy by Roberta Estes
Finding Family: My search for roots and the secrets in my DNA by Richard Hill

and so much more! Come into our library or search the catalogue from home!

If you're not using DNA for your family history research, you might be researching someone else's tree.
