3. My article is from National Society of Genetic Counselors
My article is from National Society of Genetic Counselors. You can access their blog and the article by going to and you will see the title “DNA, Ancestry Testing and You”. One step to reading is to find what you want to read and what you want to learn about. A major component of that is to find out whether what you’re reading is credible or not.
First step to that is to look at who is writing the article.
Let’s Begin Reading.

4. Who? When? Where? So many questions just to read.
Near the author’s name in the article there should be the date it was published. If you’re really interested in DNA testing and what your ancestry has to do with your genetics and how that affects your health, I wouldn’t be looking at something posted back in the 90’s.
If you found the article than you should already have some idea of where it was published. The website it originated from and you can even check at the bottom of the page to find the copyright location.
