By the time the course starts, you should have autosomal DNA test results in hand from 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA or Living DNA. (The cost and ordering of a DNA test itself is not included in the course.) These can be your own test results or someone else’s, as long as that person has endogamy on their family tree and you’ve got permission to use their results and login access.

While taking the DNA Skills Workshop is helpful and foundational for everyone working with autosomal DNA matches, and some Academy students who have taken both suggest taking the Skills Workshop first, it is not required for this Course. Come with a basic understanding of how autosomal DNA matching typically works, or patience and a desire to learn. (With your enrollment you will receive a coupon for 20% off a print copy of Your DNA Guide–the Book, which will help you get up to speed.)

During the 3 weeks of interactive instruction, you’ll need a reliable internet connection for streaming the video learning sessions and for additional learning on your own time. There is no additional textbook to purchase: you’ll receive a unique Endogamy Workbook in PDF format and additional reference materials that support your learning.

The Endogamy & DNA Course is a foundational course preparatory to learning more advanced endogamy skills. The organized approach presented in this course will provide insight into prioritizing DNA matches among the various testing companies. Even professionals who have taken this course say it’s helped them out. See below!

There’s great demand for learning DNA workarounds for endogamy.

This Course has sold out every single session (once before we even started advertising it!), so it’s a good idea to enroll when there’s an open session.
