I love working with DNA and deciphering the clues to ancestors. I find it much like fitting puzzle pieces together. I enjoy helping my relatives and friends learn the skill set of how to ‘read’ the DNA clues and integrate those clues with the classic genealogical research into documents that support the mental picture we create of the families that preceded us.
I began as a hobbyist at the age of twelve and learned a lot along the way. History is much more interesting to me now that it relates to my relatives (regardless of how distant).
I manage the GEDmatch Burleson Ancestor Project and participate as an administrator in the Family Tree DNA Burleson Project. I have my own families DNA data on Family Tree DNA, MyHeritage, Ancestry, 23andMe and Living DNA so we may appear in your match lists. My website has a DNA Helps page with tutorials in PDF format. My ancestry is in my website, on WikiTree and FamilySearch.org. Please join the Burleson Ancestor Project and add your line to WikiTree!
Please email me regarding the Genetic Network Charts for the Burleson family; I’d love to add your Burleson line and I’m happy to share DNA segment data for the Burleson Family project. The more we collaborate, the greater the progress on learning about our shared ancestors.
