After ancestry DNA - what?
« on: Sunday 03 September 17 19:31 BST (UK) »
My son's DNA from ancestry has revealed very little.

We tried putting the raw data  onto GEDmatch but so far it has only served to confuse me even further. Can anyone suggest a Very Simple way forward? I'm very old . . and I'd welcome any 'DNA for Dummies' type guidance - the reading matter on the site is way outside my comfort zone.

Thanks

As hurworth has said, it would be useful to understand what your goals are.

The following is good basic primer on both DNA generally and using GEDMatch: http://smithplanet.com/stuff/gedmatch.htm
