Editorial Reviews: Conventional genealogy relies on documents that can contain errors, may have been written to mislead, or could be partially destroyed. Some relationships are never recorded. To go beyond the constraints of documents, genetic genealogy can be deployed. Through DNA testing paternal or maternal lineages can be disclosed. Dr. Deboeck combines in this book conventional and genetic genealogy to reveal the history of three Flemish families over five centuries. He describes the occupations of each of these families as well as the history of lace making, beer brewing, and immigration. With concrete examples he illustrates the interpretation of DNA results and the uploading of those results to public databases. This book also includes an introduction to the Flanders-Flemish DNA project, the first analysis of actual Flemish DNA records and a summary of the deep ancestry of people with Flemish roots. xxiv, 372 pp., illustrated, indexed, paper, ISBN 0-9725526-7-7 Published by Gateway Press Inc, Baltimore, Md. for Dokus Publishing, Arlington, Va.

Summary: Flemish DNA & Ancestry - A treasure trove of information
Comment: Do you have a passion for genealogy and history?

Are you excited about DNA Projects and how they can confirm family origins and/or help find clues to other kin around the planet??

Do you want to know more about these topics in an easy to read enjoyable format?

If so this book is for you!

It includes wonderful stories, photos and information about the author's own family lines but also a broader picture of the Flemish people with a brief history and general information about them.

Guido's book explains the how and why of DNA and the benefits of such tests and how to understand it all in light of your own family history and origins. It is a fascinating read with many interesting facts and dna figures to help the average Jo or Janet make sense of the exciting new science of genetic genealogy

The book is very user friendly, easy to read and understand. It will inspire you to research your own family as well as give you practical tips to help further your own family history (whatever their origins) and/or become involved in a DNA project.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the author's family and was impressed by the amount of information he shared in this volume. Guido has also included many glorious old photos of his family (in period dress) making it worth more than its weight in gold and a pleasure to read...

I highly recommend it to all who are reasearching their own family or have a desire to know more about genetic genealogy. One does not need to be Flemish to appreciate this book or even to have Flemish origins but if you do have Flemish roots you will treasure it even more.

This book would make a great gift for yourself or that relative who is into genealogy and considering DNA testing. It is an excellent read for those who already have their results but still not sure what it all means. A top book

Summary: Must read
Comment: You will find this book highly engaging and easy to read. It's as though the author is there in front of you telling you how he pieced together and re-wove the stories of his ancestors and set them back in their geographical and historical time frame.
The DNA part was of great interest to me and I had until reading this book found it rather confusing. The author uses his own results to explain how and why DNA has become a real genealogical research tool and is truly beginning to open new possibilities for those who have run out of records to look through.
Absolutely a MUST-Read for everyone, with or without specifically Flemish
roots.
