| | | | ||
Have you heard your friends and fellow genealogists enthuse about DNA but don’t know what it’s all about? Wondering if a DNA test is right for you? Come learn about DNA, why it’s valuable, which tests you can take, and how it might be helpful in your genealogy research. | |||

|'''''Grouping DNA Matches''''' | |||
| | | | ||
The process of clustering or grouping your DNA matches into genetic networks is an essential part of using DNA for genealogy research. This class will introduce the concept of clustering and walk you through the process of grouping your own DNA matches. | |||

''''' | '''''Using DNA to Determine Relationships'''''<br> | ||
| | | | ||
Your DNA matches are probably your relatives. But a DNA test only suggests a relationship exists. This class will walk you through the process of determining the common ancestor between you and a DNA match or among a cluster of DNA matches. | |||

''''' | '''''Quick and Dirty Trees: Crowdsourcing Your DNA Connections''''' | ||
| | | | ||
DNA can tell you that you are related to someone, but it’s not always clear HOW you are related. Researching trees and compiling multiple generations of ancestors and descendants is no easy task. Accelerate your research by learning to create quick and dirty research trees. | |||

| | | | ||
Visual phasing is a process by which the DNA of siblings is compared to determine all of the segments that each inherited from all four of their grandparents. | |||

'''''Immigration Research and DNA: A Case Study''''' | |||
| | | | ||
Our ancestors are often lost as we seek to find their country and place of origin. Americanized names, unfamiliar naming practices, lack of information in America, and language barriers can stand in the way of our success. This class will examine DNA as one additional source we can examine to help identify our ancestors and connect them to their birth country. | |||
