Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter: Video Interview of Blaine Bettinger, the Genetic Genealogist

Wow -- I'm actually impressed with how entirely vague they managed to be with their chicken-little concerns! Those interviewed basically say that DNA testing is limited and risky, but no one's asked to provide a single example. Well, I guess I should be used to this by now. We've heard this same assumption of collective ignorance by those wishing to "protect" genetic genealogists many times before. * sigh *

This sounds really interesting, although I'm not sure if many folks realize that it wasn't all that unusual for people to marry their deceased spouse's siblings once upon a time. I know back in Slovakia, for instance, it was considered noble of a younger brother to marry the widowed wife of an older brother because that meant support and protection for the children involved. At any rate, I'm going off on a tangent, but this book sounds interesting and -- I suspect -- will provoke a lot of discussion.
