DNA Swim School – Part 2: Treading Water with Your Matches

In DNA Swim School Part 2, it’s time to move with purpose. If you've learned how to float with one match, now you’ll discover how to tread water by working with a whole network of matches—and stay steady as you move forward. This session introduces “The Plan,” a simple step-by-step approach to working with your match list. You’ll learn how to use your Best Known Match (BKM) and Best Mystery Match (BMM) to start building a genetic network. We’ll show you how to focus on the matches with trees and use them to take your next steps with confidence. You’ll also get a peek at how DNA connects to traditional genealogy and how it can help you find living relatives or unknown ancestors. This is where real progress begins—because now you’re not just floating, you’re swimming with strategy.
