  • This talk will focus almost exclusively on autosomal DNA and how to use it to find long lost cousins. I've used it in my own family tree to find second cousins of my father's who live in Australia. We wouldn't have been able to establish this link without the DNA test. I'll also be explaining a step-by-step approach to assessing your matches on the autosomal DNA test and how to narrow down the number of potential candidates for the common ancestor that you share with each match.
    Dr Maurice Gleeson MB MRCPsych - Maurice is a psychiatrist, a pharmaceutical physician, & a genetic genealogist. He did his first DNA test in 2008 and since then has used DNA to good effect in his own family tree research, finding relatives in Australia whose ancestors had left Ireland in 1886, and tracing one line of his family back to the 1600's in Limerick. He is now Project Administrator for the Spearin, Farrell, and Gleason Surname Projects and runs several special interest projects, including the iCARA project, which aims to help people with Caribbean ancestry and Irish surnames find their ancestral homelands and even distant cousins living today. Maurice organises Genetic Genealogy Ireland and speaks about DNA and genealogy at international and national meetings.

    I've dealt with DNA for a couple years now but your explanation had taught me many things plus new tricks.

    One of the best presentations I’ve heard on this topic (I’ve listed to around 20 on UA-cam). Material well presented, easy to follow, very practical and actionable. Quality of video and audio also great. Thank you !

    This is the very best youtube video I have seen so far on understanding your Autosomal DNA information. It is shock full of important data in a wonderful, easy to understand way. Thank you, Maurice Gleeson for making it!

    This is a superb presentation. Very well explained and fills in numerous gaps needed to fully understand Autosomal DNA. It can be daunting, but with more presentations like this, its manageable. Thank you!

    That was awesome. I do have a question on y DNA family tree my brother took the Y DNA test besides other matches I have one that we have no mutations but I cannot find the link it's zero to zero, the gentleman said that I was the only one that ever matched him like that so what does this mean is it a mistake? Are we definitely related? At one time before my brother even took that test I was already searching into that family but now I am like 99% sure it's this other person that's my great-great-grandfather which I have not found that it led to this Man's family so I was just wondering could that be a mistake or are we definitely related. Thank you

    Hi Maurice, you mentioned groups that intermarry, one of these you talked about were Jehovahs Witnesses, please could you explain where you have personally come across such cases and also is there any documented evidence of this being the case in general. I would be interested to know. Thank you. S

    I find it interesting when Brits and Aussies have a ton of British Isles DNA because I'm from USA and the "White" people here are usually a huge mix of Europeans (North, East, South, and West European DNA mixed together).
