First look at AncestryDNA

Update on Ancestry subscriptions- Most of your AncestryDNA matches will not have a subscription and will have very little information to work with.  If you don't have an Ancestry membership, you should consider "AncestryDNA Plus" which costs $39.99 each six months. You can read about the features included  HERE. Ancestry Pro Tools allows you to see how much DNA your matches share and their relationship to each other. The cost is variable but I pay $10US a month. You can read more HERE  and use the link to subscribe.  Below at are notes for those who attended the Society of Australian Genealogists' webinar First Look at AncestryDNA .  Others are welcome to use these notes for their personal research.  Please contact me at chrisw9953[at]gmail[dot]com for  other uses.  I'll strive to update the notes as there are further developments or my understanding of the area grows. "Setting the scene" You can read about the "4 types of DNA"  HERE. AncestryD
