To get you started on your ancestry discovery and to help you see what our own efforts are, we have collected (frequently asked) questions and answers below. The FAQs below describe our YDNA, mitochondrial DNA and autosomal DNA efforts. Please comment with more questions, and we will do our best to give you an answer. We also have a presentation below our FAQ document that describes a special feature on the Family Tree DNA site to allow someone to manage your kit, if that is helpful for any reason. Finally, we would like to link a guide presented by OurPublicRecords.org, which gives advice on interviewing older relatives to gather facts about your ancestors.
I never knew about the NYS Military Museum interviews of my father and my uncle until someone pointed them out to me. When looking for gold like this, it pays to be lucky.
