WCGS Summer of DNA series focuses on Autosomal DNA. The series includes three programs geared toward beginner
and intermediate skill levels. All will pick up a new trick or two. Topics are as follows:
June - Make Your Autosomal DNA Matches Work For You. 1) Get Familiar
with Your Shared Matches, presenter - Sallie Szymczyk. 2) Sort Shared Matches
along family lines with Leeds Color Matching process, presenter - Cyndi Deal.
July - Use Science to Refine the Placement of Autosomal Matches Into Your
Tree. Introduction to the What are the Odds tool at DNAPainter.com, presenter -
Jean Lansford.
August - Autosomal DNA Q&A Panel group. Submit your questions with contact
info, question and drawing of the relationship in question by July 25. The drawing
will help us with context (nothing fancy, a sketch will be fine). We will collect and cover
as many as possible and may contact you for further clarification. Submit to
Newsletter@wakecogen.org.
Just starting out and want to be up to speed by our summer meetings? You
will find lots of resources to help you master the basics in this resource list from a
previous DNA presentation. I especially like the Blaine Bettinger video series at Legacy
Webinars. DNA links and reading list on WCGS blog.
Haven't tested yet but want to play along? There is still time. This progress
tracker will guide you through the steps and get you started so you can be ready for the
summer meetings. Progress Tracker for DNA Study. Work the progress tracker and the
reading list. Both of these study aids live on the WCGS blog so you can reference them
any time you like.
Important Location Change: Starting with our August meeting and for the
duration of the upcoming renovation of Olivia Raney Family History Library, WCGS
will meet at the Cameron Village Library, 1930 Clark Ave, Raleigh, NC 27605.
Meeting times and dates will remain the same. I can’t wait to see ORL’s new look.
