Or maybe you’ve tested but don’t know if another site might be a better fit for your needs. Come listen in as we compare and contrast the features and tools of the major testing sites – information you can use to ensure you are accessing the best databases and “tools” to further your research goals. And bring your questions!

Pam Ricciardi-Paschke has been researching genealogy for over forty years. She serves as administrator for five Family Tree DNA projects; authored a book on colonial Dutchess County, New York, and numerous genealogical articles; and speaks to national, regional, and local groups on DNA and other genealogy topics.
