DNA --- Getting Enough Bang for your Genealogical Buck

I've posted a few...make that VERY few...comments in the area of DNA and DNA testing. I have opinions (everybody's got 'em and well, you know the expression!) but what I lack is an understanding that's deep enough to offer advice. That aspect I'll leave to others.

There are 2 experts to whom I have no qualms whatsoever sending anyone with an interest in this area. The first I've spoken of recently and that would be Roberta Estes. Her expertise is, perhaps, second to none. Here's her blog in case it needs repeating:

The other is "The Legal Genealogist." Judy G. Russell is a Certified Genealogist and a Certified Genealogical Lecturer with a law degree. I've participated in a number of her webinars (always worth the time) and listened to her in person (Always worth the time). She speaks in a broad range of genealogical topics with style, expertise and a witty, clever, humorous style. At any rate, here's her latest blog from "The Legal Genealogist" with an update on the value of various DNA testing companies:

Both of these experts are well worth following and well worth the time!
