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.
Have you ever heard of a Y-DNA test or wondered if you should take one? This class will discuss the value of Y-DNA, who can take a Y-DNA test, and where to purchase a test. It will also discuss the differences levels of testing (37, 111, and Big-Y), haplogroups, SNP's, STR's, and above all how to solve genealogical problems.

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.

'''''Getting Started with at DNA Part 2: Determining Relationships'''''

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.

'''''Double Trouble: Using DNA to Solve Two Generations of Adoptions'''''
|
|
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.
Come see how DNA and traditional genealogical research were used to solve a case with two generations of adoptions.

'''''Immigration Research and DNA: A Case Study'''''
'''''Finding an Unknown Father Using 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.  
Come see how DNA and traditional genealogical research were used to identify an unknown father.
