Hilary Hartigan gave this talk to the Oldham Group of Manchester and Lancashire FHS earlier this year which I found to be one of the simplest ways of interpreting your DNA Matches. Hilary explained everything in clear and uderstandable language. I feel she takes the jargon out of a complex subject. Not to be missed.
