Recenzii
NextGen would be a good introductory book . . . . I came away with a good understanding of DNA and why genealogists want to use it. Mr. Dowell is a good writer, and has written an excellent DNA book for those who are utilizing this set of information to establish family lines.
NextGen Genealogy is a must-read for anyone who is new to genetic genealogy and wants to learn how to apply DNA testing to their genealogical research. You will appreciate Dowell's breezy, conversational writing style, which keeps the subject matter from coming across as too academic or technical. Each chapter is sourced with detailed footnotes, and a glossary of genetic genealogy terms is included at the back of the book. While I do not consider myself to be a DNA novice, I found NextGen Genealogy to be an enjoyable and educational read, and I highly recommend it.
