Free DNA Mini-Webinars
Leading up to our Fall Conference, which focuses on DNA, AGS offers the following free DNA webinars.
Forensic Genetic Genealogy — Sep 27, 6:30 pm
Olivia McCarter is a 21-year-old Genetic Genealogist who, as a teenager, was fascinated with forensic cold cases solved by genealogists. That led her to pursue a carrier in forensics. Olivia is now an investigative genetic genealogist and cold case specialist for the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office (Alabama). She is the youngest person to run a law enforcement unit. Preregistration required.
Missing Relative Case Study Using DNA — Oct 4, 6:30 pm
Where’d They Go? Ever had a relative who vanished? Or maybe you have a relative who only appears when they are an adult. We will take a look at how to find a “missing” relative using the DNA trail that they left behind. Andria Yakoubian will walk through the paper trail and the DNA trail to find a missing relative. Preregistration required.
Using DNA in Family Research — Oct 6, 6:30 pm
I took the DNA test. Now what? Scott Lee will teach you how to use DNA testing to research your family history. It will cover the pros and cons of each test type, the major testing companies, and techniques to use the information they provide in your genealogy research. The focus is not on the technical, biological aspects of DNA but on how to use it in genealogy. Preregistration required.
