ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
When three siblings did not receive any DNA from their
supposed maternal grandfather, a systematic research plan traced the origin of
the biological grandfather. Family oral histories, digital phasing, DNA testing
of many extended family members and analysis of xDNA inheritance patterns were
needed to find the real source of that missing DNA. It was from Donaghadee, Ireland
rather than Prussia.
