Thanks to DNA testing, it's never been easier for adoptees, foundlings, and others of unknown parentage to find their birth families.

But how can DNA tests help you connect to family, and what do your results mean? Enter this book: a comprehensive guide to adoption genealogy that will give you the resources you need to find our long-lost family with DNA.

This book covers all the basics of genetic genealogy testing, plus how your DNA results from services like AncestryDNA and 23andMe can help you build your family tree.

It includes strategies for connection to previous generations, including how to reach out to potential relatives. As well as including real-life success stories that put the techniques used in the book into practice.
