A Spotlight on Michelle Leonard
Michelle is a professional genealogist, genetic genealogist, researcher, speaker, writer and historian. She has considerable experience both as a traditional and a genetic genealogist. She specializes in the use of DNA testing for genealogical purposes and, in particular, solving adoption, unknown parentage, NPE, illegitimacy and other unknown ancestor mysteries. She also uses DNA testing in conjunction with paper trail research to confirm and grow family trees and break down brick walls.

As Michelle and I discuss, DNA is not always the easiest subject to get your head around. Many people take a test and then think, hmmm….now what?
Of course, that meant that I had to at least attempt to answer the question “now what”. The article explains DNA basics, how to analyse your matches and what to do with all that information!
