Nicole and Diana’s genealogical research process is fully explained in this easy to read book。 It is also easy to flip back to specific parts as I work on my family tree。 Using DNA is a new idea for me。 And one that I wasn’t sure I would be able to grasp！ I feel confident in my understanding of this now thanks to Robin’s explanations。 It just makes sense！I know I still have a lot to learn since I’m so new to genealogy but these authors have made the research and using DNA accessible to all level Nicole and Diana’s genealogical research process is fully explained in this easy to read book。 It is also easy to flip back to specific parts as I work on my family tree。 Using DNA is a new idea for me。 And one that I wasn’t sure I would be able to grasp！ I feel confident in my understanding of this now thanks to Robin’s explanations。 It just makes sense！I know I still have a lot to learn since I’m so new to genealogy but these authors have made the research and using DNA accessible to all levels！ 。。。more

I was so excited to read this book， I finished it in 3 days！ This book provides an incredible toolset to tackle any tough DNA research question。 It is written so clearly that those who are new to DNA will get a lot out of it， yet the content is diverse enough that advanced researchers will find plenty to bookmark and highlight for future reference。 A great companion piece to the first book！

I have been using the Research Like Pro process for my genealogical research ever since reading the original Research Like a Pro book a couple of years ago。 In their new book， Research Like a Pro with DNA， authors Diana Elder， Nicole Dyer， and Robin Wirthlin have added DNA elements to their Research Like a Pro process。 In this day and age， DNA is an important part of genealogy research， but understanding the possibilities for its use and knowing how to organize everything into usable evidence ca I have been using the Research Like Pro process for my genealogical research ever since reading the original Research Like a Pro book a couple of years ago。 In their new book， Research Like a Pro with DNA， authors Diana Elder， Nicole Dyer， and Robin Wirthlin have added DNA elements to their Research Like a Pro process。 In this day and age， DNA is an important part of genealogy research， but understanding the possibilities for its use and knowing how to organize everything into usable evidence can feel daunting。 By walking readers through the process， from creating an objective to writing a report， the authors clearly illustrate how to organize a genealogy research project that uses DNA evidence。 As part of the RLP with DNA method， the book includes information about different types of tools used for DNA analysis and how and when to use them。 It also provides a link to a webpage where you will find templates， actual work samples， and additional resources for each chapter。 Anyone who wants to learn how to use DNA to help solve research questions and break down brick walls will find this book to be a valuable addition to their library！ 。。。more

This book is “must” for family historians and genealogists who want to incorporate DNA into their research。 The authors' earlier book， Research Like a Pro， set out an easy-to-follow sequence of steps for conducting genealogical research。 Research Like a Pro with DNA shows the reader how to incorporate DNA research into that plan。 Starting with the fundamentals of DNA， this book takes the reader through planning， organizing， analyzing and documenting a DNA research project， as well as how to use This book is “must” for family historians and genealogists who want to incorporate DNA into their research。 The authors' earlier book， Research Like a Pro， set out an easy-to-follow sequence of steps for conducting genealogical research。 Research Like a Pro with DNA shows the reader how to incorporate DNA research into that plan。 Starting with the fundamentals of DNA， this book takes the reader through planning， organizing， analyzing and documenting a DNA research project， as well as how to use DNA analysis tools。 There are also helpful explanations of how to make research more organized and productive with tools such as LucidChart and Airtable。 Based on sound research practices， this book carefully guides the reader through a DNA research project from start to end。 。。。more
