April 4, 2024 Society Webinar | How at-DNA and Big Y-DNA lead to the Big Surprise! | Edward Swierczewski Jr.

The journey started with at-DNA results of distant cousin matches and admixture estimates that evolved over time and began converging on a narrow yet unknown ancestral path, followed by more at-DNA testing and then the Big Y-DNA test, which uncovered a patrilineal MPE. A detailed review of the discovery timeline and of the documentary, methodological, and identity issues raised in this case.  A review of the advantages and disadvantages of at-DNA will be conducted, as well as using the WATO tool.
