    3. The Genetic Genealogist blog this week has a great article on interpreting DNA results. The URL for that is really long but here is the website http://thegeneticgenealogist.com/ I highly recommend this site for any of you interested in DNA testing. This article is about Native American identification but gives a very good overall view of what is actually happening in the testing procedure. As an example, I have alleged Native American ancestry on both sides of my family but no proof of this. When I took a test to be a bone marrow donor I was told I had all the markers that indicated that I had NE Native American ancestors. An MtDNA test to test my maternal ancestors did not show any Native American ancestry. The autosomal DNA test also did not. This article at Genetic Genealogist explains why this happens. Bette
