“What’s New at the DNA Testing Sites”
Colleen Yinger
The major DNA testing sites frequently add new features and tools, particularly around the time of the annual Family Search RootsTech conference in early March.  At our May meeting, we will review what’s new at the major testing sites:  Ancestry, 23andMe, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, and Living DNA.  Be prepared to jump in and share your favorite new capabilities and how they are helping break down brick walls in your family tree!
