Lee Martinez will discuss the Y-DNA test, the most useful and powerful of the DNA tests for purposes of genealogy. : Growing up in a Mormon family in the Española Valley of Northern New Mexico, Lee was immersed in genealogy from a young age, scouring small, remote cemeteries throughout the mountain villages in the area with his parents from the age of 10. Lee’s parents served for a time as the local LDS Family History Librarians, based in the valley, back in the day when micro-fiche was a primary research resource. Now with over 40 years of genealogical research under his belt, Dr. Martinez directly manages 24 Y-DNA accounts, representing 13 surnames, and consults with the NMGS-DNA team on Y-DNA projects.

DNA can be a powerful tool in the genealogist's tool box, but it is important to know that there are different kinds of DNA tests, each designed to answer a different kind of investigatory question.
