How to Maximize your DNA Test Results

Many people take DNA tests and don’t know what to do after receiving their results. In this class, you will be taught how to create the most value with your test results, both for yourself and for genetic relatives that may also be looking for family. From ensuring you receive messages from relatives looking to connect, to linking your pedigree to your results, to transferring your DNA into other databases, and to sharing your results with family because even though you can’t live forever, your DNA can continue to help genetic relatives find where they belong long after you’re gone.
