I clicked on an "Ask for help" button and came here- DNA confirm

Question

Is there a YouTube video on DNA confirmation? Sorry, I'm a visual learner.  There seem to be enough AU testers to confirm my grandparents, and I would love to figure this stuff out.

Hi, Manda!
Great question, and yes there have been several videos done by WikiTree members, covering the topic of DNA confirmation. Here are some of them:

If you have taken a DNA test for genealogy and you have matches, and you have added your limbs to WikiTree you may be able to mark some of your ancestors as "Confirmed with DNA" . We'll tell you how to work with WikiTree to follow the paper trail and the genetic trail to DNA confirmation.

This video will show you how to use your GEDMatch.com Number to confirm distant relative with DNA , a method called Triangulation for three say 4th or 5th cousins (Above 3rd) to a common ancestor on your WikiTree Profile
