DNA Research #DNA Re: Which DNA test?

Hi Arnold, As Daniel mentioned, you definitely want to do an autosomal test to start. At Family Tree DNA, that would be the Family Finder test. The MTDNA test has very limited use in Jewish genealogy.

Hi David, In my experience a 102 cM match across 7 segments at Ancestry is unlikely to be a false positive, but more likely a 3rd to 4th cousin as Ancestry predicts. Do you and your match really know
