Finding skeletons in the closet — the ethics of DNA testing in family history research
DNA testing has helped family history researchers fill in the blanks in their family trees. While that can be a good thing, it can also lead to unexpected consequences. From "non-parental events", to big data hacks, to unauthorised use of DNA in criminal investigations, this is everything you need to know about genetic genealogy.
This event was recorded at the State Library of NSW for Family History Month 2025.
