If you’ve ever wondered whether DNA from hair, envelopes, or old letters can actually help your genealogy… this video is for you.
In this DNA Q&A, Andy breaks down a real question about using GEDmatch with heirloom DNA—and why the results don’t behave like a normal DNA test.
You might find matches.
You might even get centimorgan numbers.
But can you trust them?
If your DNA results look confusing or inconsistent… there’s a reason.
This example comes from one of our live DNA Q&A sessions, where we break down real questions from our community.
