We're starting this page by showcasing the recent books written by list members. Over time, we'll add other books, with a short term goal of having three categories of books: Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced.
Beginner
Trace Your Roots with DNA (Rodale. $14.95) by Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak and Ann Turner
An excellent overview of the history, early pioneers,
and the many aspects of the new field of Genetic Genealogy. This book is
well written and includes clear instructions of how-to-do-it and many
real world examples of how to use DNA testing to aide traditional
genealogical research. A great first book for the beginner to read. But
intermediate and advanced readers will find interesting tidbits and
ideas in this book too.
Charles Kerchner, Genetic Genealogy Pioneer and Author of the Genetic
Genealogy DNA Testing Dictionary.
Genetic Genealogy DNA Testing Dictionary (Kerchner $9.60) by Charles F. Kerchner Jr.
Definitions of words, terms,
acronyms, and abbreviations used in the new field of Genetic Genealogy
DNA Testing to aide traditional genealogical research. A great resource
for beginners. Ideal to use as an extra reference book for deciphering
some of the more esoteric terminology used when reading other books in
this field or when lurking and reading messages on the Genealogy-DNA-L
message board at Rootsweb.com
