Book notice: DNA and Social Networking

Debbie Kennett, editor, author and British genealogist of the avant-garde has produced a new book which I shall be reviewing on the blog.
DNA and Social Networking has been in the works for some while. In January Debbie wrote on her blog that the manuscript was with the publishers The History Press for publication in October, now November. That's time for a rigorous editorial process, something one might expect from the publisher of Ancestral Trails: The Complete Guide to British Genealogy and Family History and of The Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers both of which I keep readily to hand at my desk.

Thanks to Debbie for sending me the table of contents for DNA and Social Networking, copied below.

Debbie mentioned that it is "written very much from a British perspective with a focus on resources for Brits and the application of DNA testing for people living in the UK." In Canada we get accustomed to reading books written for audiences elsewhere, mainly the US, and it only becoming available several months after UK publication.
