<big>'''Class topic:''' "Connecting Your DNA Matches"</big> | |||
<big>'''Description:''' There is so much information in your DNA match list, just waiting to be discovered. You need to start with a solid understanding of the Shared Matches tool, and then move on to applying the shared amount of DNA into your analysis. In the end, you will be gathering a small subset of your matches to work with in order to address your genealogical questions.</big> | |||
<big>We call these groups genetic networks. Genetic networks are very powerful tools to help you make genealogical discoveries. We will learn how to create, and then employ these networks to boost your confidence in your genetic genealogy skills, and break down brick walls.</big> | |||

<big>'''Class topic:''' "FamilySearch Mobile Apps: Your Family History, Anytime, Anywhere"</big> | |||
<big>'''Description:''' With billions of historical records and a huge community of users from all over the world MyHeritage is an incredible genealogical trove that can help you discover, preserve, and share your family history. One of the best ways to maximize MyHeritage is to host your tree at MyHeritage where our systems will automagically help you find new records, fill gaps in your existing tree, and provide matches that can help you efficiently discover new ancestors and family members. In this class you will learn, first, how to move your tree from online tree systems such as the FamilySearch Family Tree to MyHeritage. Next, how MyHeritage works with your tree to find new and additional information that you can easily evaluate and add to your tree. Finally, how DNA matches give you additional capabilities in finding distant cousins, your shared common ancestors, and descendants of these common ancestors that you may have lost track of or never had time to research.</big> | |||
