RLP 176: RLPDNA Study Group 5 - DNA Tools

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about Diana's Dillard project. For the RLP with DNA study group, she is exploring the possibility that a cluster of DNA matches from her second cousin's network graph are related through Cynthia Dillard's parents. The MRCA of the cluster appears to be Elijah Dillard. In this assignment, Diana explored DNA tools to see if any would be useful in her project. She learned about DNA Gedcom's GWorks tool and practiced using it to find relevant surnames in the trees of Victor's DNA matches. Diana also used Genetic Affairs' Hybrid AutoSegment Cluster analysis combining segment data from MyHeritage, FTDNA,  and GEDMatch.
