From Matches to Proof: Applying Genealogical Standards to DNA Evidence

A DNA match is a clue, not a conclusion. Learn to evaluate genetic relationships, confirm pedigrees, investigate brick walls, and integrate DNA with documentary evidence under genealogical standards. See how genetic findings can be woven into proof arguments and research reports—and why informed consent is essential whenever we ask others to test or manage their results.
