RLP 212: Pennsylvania Germans Part 6 - DNA

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about using DNA evidence to help with your Pennsylvania German research. We talk with Heidi Mathis about her experience using DNA with her colonial German ancestry. She noticed that her recent German side has fewer DNA matches than her colonial German side. We discuss differences in match lists, using autosomal DNA for more distance research questions, and an example from the Hittell family in 18th century Pennsylvania. </span></p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/part-9-pennsylvania-germans-dna/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Part 9: Pennsylvania Germans: DNA</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- https://familylocket.com/part-9-pennsylvania-germans-dna/</span></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/how-to-evaluate-an-ancestrydna-thrulines-hypothesis/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">How to Evaluate an AncestryDNA Thrulines Hypothesis</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- https://familylocket.com/how-to-evaluate-an-ancestrydna-thrulines-hypothesis/</span></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/rlp-179-rlpdna-study-group-8-report-writing/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">RLP 179: RLPDNA Study Group 8 – Report Writing</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- Cynthia Dillard's possible brother Elijah Dillard - https://familylocket.com/rlp-179-rlpdna-study-group-8-report-writing/</span></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/using-dna-for-clues-with-colonial-ancestors-quality-vs-quantity/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Using DNA for Clues with Colonial Ancestors: Quality vs Quantity</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- https://familylocket.com/using-dna-for-clues-with-colonial-ancestors-quality-vs-quantity/</span></p> <p><a href= "https://familylocket.com/rlp-210-pennsylvania-germans-part-4-probate-and-church-records/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">RLP 210: Pennsylvania Germans Part 4 – Probate and Church Records</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- h
