What people are saying

“ENDOGAMY: One Family, One People” is an excellent resource for those studying endogamous populations, as well as those with a general interest in genetic genealogy. This gem is filled with case studies and wisdom from which we can all learn and apply to our own genealogical DNA research projects.
