The Forgotten Dead - 8. One Step Closer - BBC Sounds More details emerge about investigative genetic genealogy.

Enjoyed listening to episode 8 of The Forgotten Dead, which talks about some of the barriers to using investigative genetic genealogy in the UK (totally navigable, in my opinion!) and mentions the pilot study currently being conducted by Scotland Yard.
