For years researchers have been identifying family history using YDNA, especially those interested in where their specific line may originate. Upgrading to a next Generation Sequence test (NGS) can help bring information that could be 200k years old into a more workable timeframe is what these tests are all about (and then some). We will take a look at the NGS test at the tools for discovery available today and apply them in a case study.

I am happy that I was given an opportunity to listen to the presentation. However, I am very pleased that I am a subscriber to Legacy. I can now sit down with the syllabus, read through it, click on the links, go on FTDNA to print out the material about my Big Y 700 test results, and compare my results to the syllabus. Then I might be ready to watch the video a couple of times. Will I understand Big Y or any part of DNA any better? Probably not but the journey will be fun. Now if I can get any of my matches to respond to my emails requesting information on their ancestors. If they would just tell me where their parents and grandparents lived. We've all been down that road before.
Great overview on YDNA basics❣️
I enjoyed it.
Excellent!
The descriptor "NGS" was unfamiliar to me. So as an individual who has had Y-DNA sequenced, I was a bit thrown off by the poll at the beginning of the webinar. In other words, I was familiar with Y-DNA testing, but not "NGS Y-DNA" testing. Thanks for an informative presentation and the pointers to additional resources!
Thanks Mags!
Lot of good information
great as always.
