I hold a Ph.D. in Biology and have taught at the college and university level for over 30 years. Debbie Kennett's new offering DNA and Social Networking is a great guide for anyone interested in understanding the link between our genes and our ancestry including the deep ancestry of our beginnings as a human race. The text is written for ease of understanding and she clearly explains what DNA studies can provide and what they cannot provide to the participant. If you don't want to bog down in the details of molecular biology then this is a good book to expand your understanding and knowledge in a field that is going to be one of the growth areas for genealogists for decades to come.

Just as I was considering having my DNA tested for genealogy purposes, along came this book to take all the mystery out of the process. I have a medical background and am not unfamiliar with the difference between Y-DNA and MtDNA, yet there is so much more to know that she clearly outlines in this book. She has clarified what to expect at this point in the evolution of this as yet very young science, in terms of how to choose a company and what results mean. Her hyperlinks to resources are very helpful.
The second half of the book deals with social networking and its usefulness to the family historian, a subject which she also details in clear language and a straightforward attitude. The primary message here is, use it! It's not just for kids, get on Facebook, Twitter, UTube, and anything else where you may find answers to genealogy questions. She also tells us what NOT to do with some of these tools as well, such as giving too much personal information in a public forum.
The only caveat is that the author is clearly British and the book is written with a British reader in mind. Many references are to British archives familiar to a British reader and not so much to an American. That said, I had no difficulty "translating" to my American needs.
I first bought this on my e-reader and now am buying it in the print version because I know I will refer to it again and again in my research.

Who knew?

I am a facebook user, I have used Wikipedia, but genealogy wikis? Who knew? Online bookmark storage? That sounds like a dream come true to me when I am so disgusted with Internet Explorer which won't even let me put them in alphabetical order. And the computer stuff as amazing as it is, takes backseat to the DNA stuff.
A totally mystifying subject made plain (after I read this, I realized I am not even sure which type of test I took already). She makes the very valid point that the more we all use it, the better it will get. She gives the background information on the different companies so we know who is doing what. I have been doing genealogy for 10 years extensively, but I feel like a naive beginner who this wonderful author has helped to grow up a bit.
