Follow the Investigation from Start to Finish
What happens when a DNA test reveals an unexpected match—but no one knows how they’re related?
That’s the question that began The Abigail Case.
This real-life genetic genealogy investigation follows the research from the first unexplained DNA match through the records, DNA analysis, shared-match clustering, and family reconstruction that ultimately identified the most likely biological father.
Rather than simply presenting the conclusion, you’ll see how each piece of evidence was evaluated, tested, and combined to build a carefully supported hypothesis.
Inside You’ll Discover
✔ How close DNA matches were identified and evaluated
✔ How maternal and paternal DNA lines were separated
✔ How the Leeds Method helped organize shared matches
✔ How documentary research and DNA evidence worked together
✔ How four possible fathers were investigated
✔ Why the strongest conclusion remained a well-supported hypothesis rather than absolute proof
✔ Practical research techniques you can apply to your own DNA investigations
