Identifying Ancestors through DNA (using DNA Matches)

You don’t always have to cluster your matches to learn about your genetic relatives. Sometimes the information is right there on the surface! As you’re getting started with studying your autosomal DNA matches, first consider what it is you wanted to learn from your DNA beyond ethnicity estimates. This presentation will focus on steps you can take to learn from your matches without clustering at all, or by partial clustering.
