About this webinar

Your family’s medical history might reveal a history of disease and even patterns relevant to your own health. In this class, you’ll learn why you need a family health history, where to find records that show causes of death and illness and how to organize your health history information. You’ll also find out how health features in the DNA tests from 23andMe, Ancestry, Living DNA and MyHeritage compare.

    I loved his comparison of the various DNA sites offering their own Reporting and then the comparison to the sites that only Report using your tested DNA. Quite interesting!
