I recorded the video, Understanding X-DNA Inheritance, for the FamilyTreeDNA  RootsTech booth to help you understand what X-DNA is, how it’s inherited, and why it’s uniquely useful.

FamilyTreeDNA is the only genetic genealogy company to include X-DNA matching with your autosomal test results, and it’s free.

X-DNA is a powerful tool with a unique inheritance path for males and females that can help confirm or eliminate genealogical relationships within your Family Finder results.

You can watch the video for free on the RootsTech website, here, or on YouTube, here. It’s short, just 17 minutes, but packed full of good information.

Unfortunately, X-DNA is often confused with mitochondrial DNA, but it’s not at all the same. I wrote about the difference in the article X Matching and Mitochondrial DNA is Not the Same Thing.

You can also read more in the article, X Chromosome Master Class, here.

Take a look and see how X-DNA matching can give your genealogy a boost if you take a Family Finder test or transfer a DNA file to FamilyTreeDNA from another vendor.

Enjoy!
