About this event
Where does your family come from? Adverts for DNA testing kits are constantly on the TV, but what do you actually get?
Karen's presentation covers areas such as:
- Understanding how the test works in general terms
- Getting the most from the test (what the results mean)
- How to use your results to overcome brick walls such as illegitimacy and validating paper resources
The presentation also highlights the range and pitfalls of using DNA testing, particularly finding out where your family came from... Can you really be a Viking?
