Please help! In Wikitree. There are people, they brag about their Phds and all. Keep telling me I am not a real genealogist. I have been working on my family tree stuff for a long time. I have been able to work off of what has been handed down from generations going way back. There is one part of my family tree that someone puts in this big long spill about DNA, because they have DNA connecting two or three people, the other people in this family tree they don't have DNA matches for or something about they are not part of some certain DNA group. These people will tear that/my family tree apart. Adding other people, deleting people, and so on. It is like they use the DNA as a way to bully me out of certain parts of my family tree so they can twist their family tree into it. My question is how can it be 100% positive there are DNA matches for people 200 plus years ago? My understanding is that DNA is only as good as the data that is reported, such as family histories.
Thank you for clarifying Ethnicity
Very informative and super presentation
How do I link family search and wikitree DNA? Research help on family search. Classes? Family search library help. New to genealogy on line.
Where can I get the handout for this great presentation?
You can find it here www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/img_auth.php/5/54/An_Introduction_to_DNA_and_Genealogy.pdf
