Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or the report could reveal long-buried family secrets and upend your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like "Who am I?" and "Where did I come from?" Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject." --Publisher   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 929.1072 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 929.1072 Copela Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 929.1072 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 929.1072 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 929.1072 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 929.1072 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 929.1072 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList
