I am joined by expert genealogist Roberta Estes in this in-depth episode where we explore the intricacies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Roberta elucidates the unique characteristics of mtDNA, its transmission from mother to offspring, and its significance in genealogical research.
We discuss the difference between mtDNA and autosomal DNA, the importance of haplogroups, and the latest updates and features from FamilyTreeDNA’s new ‘Mitochondrial Tree’.
Roberta also shares fascinating personal anecdotes about her own genealogy discoveries using mtDNA, including rooting out family myths and pinpointing ancestral locations. Learn how this powerful tool can break through your genealogical brick walls!
Additionally, we discuss how you can collaborate with others, join relevant projects, and even offer DNA testing scholarships to uncover your family’s genetic past.
