"New Avenues in Genetic Genealogy"
Speaker: Jane Buck, FamilyTree DNA, Houston
The field of Genetic Genealogy employs DNA testing to reveal relationships between people, both recent and distant. For the past 11 years, Family Tree DNA has played a central role in this field by offering the latest technology and the largest DNA database for comparison. This talk will cover how DNA testing works and how it can be used to trace anthropological origins and reunite families. We will also demonstrate how recent scientific breakthroughs have offered new avenues to genealogical discoveries.
These topics will be useful for beginners and as well as experienced individuals.
