![I’ve taken a DNA test on Ancestry.com. Now what? (PART 1 of 3)](https://www.goff-gough.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Surname-Study-Draft-150x150.png)
by Jennifer Alvarez, President of GGFA
There are three types of DNA tests available commercially that are useful to genealogists, mitochondrial DNA, y-DNA, and autosomal DNA.
Next time, we will begin to explore autosomal DNA more deeply: strategies for autosomal DNA testing, understanding how matching works and how to link your autosomal DNA test results to your family tree.
Jennifer is President of the Goff-Gough Family Association.
