Searching For Dead People: Book 2 – Evidence-Based DNA Genealogy

Stop guessing relationships. Start proving them.

In the age of consumer DNA testing, discovering your origins has never been easier and never been more misunderstood. Ethnicity estimates can mislead. Match lists can overwhelm. Without method, DNA results create confusion rather than clarity.

Searching for Dead People is a clear, practical guide for anyone using DNA to explore their family history with confidence. Drawing on real research methods, this book shows you how to interpret results, build evidence, and connect DNA to documentary records.

• Understand what DNA tests can and cannot prove

• Work with matches, shared matches, and clustering

• Identify common ancestors with confidence

• Avoid common pitfalls and misinterpretations

• Turn results into evidence, not assumptions

This is not a book about collecting matches.
It is a book about proving relationships.

One day, someone will test their DNA to find the truth.
Make sure the evidence leads them there.
