Finding enough evidence for the parents of an ancestor born in the early 1800s can be difficult. The amount of autosomal DNA evidence inherited decreases with each generation, yet it can still help solve these challenging research questions. Learn how using multiple DNA test takers can help you discover potential ancestors and increase the quality and quantity of your DNA evidence. You will also learn how the concept of autosomal DNA coverage can increase your chances of finding relevant DNA matches.
