Whether you are a genetic genealogy novice or an experienced researcher, Dana Leeds developed a method for sorting matches that has changed the process for all comers. It is the first tool that I use when I look at a new tester's results and I am not alone in that.

About Dana Leeds and the August 6 presentations -
Genetic Genealogist Dana Leeds started researching her
family tree in 1998. She bought her first DNA kit in 2016 and solved her first
unknown parentage case in early 2018. While working on another case that year,
she created the innovative genetic genealogy tool known as the Leeds Method.
This method quickly sorts DNA matches into clusters allowing the user to see
which matches belong together. Dana quickly became a nationally known
genetic genealogy speaker, and she enjoys helping others to easily understand
and work with their DNA results. Her helpful creation has been shared widely on
blogs (including her own),
at Legacy Webinars, RootsTech, and other genealogy conferences.
Dana will teach her Leeds Method in the first lecture of the
day on August 6. All comers will leave with a simple but powerful new skill
to work with their Autosomal DNA.
For the second lecture of the afternoon, Dana will present a
case study that just happened to turn her research to Wake County and involves
the local Beddingfield surname. The presentation entitled “One Man, Multiple
Names, an Unexpected DNA Discovery” tells the story of William Emmitt
Hunter who arrived in Oklahoma around 1910 in his early to mid-30s. He married
and raised eight children, but he apparently never told them about his past.
Only DNA could unravel his secrets. This presentation will share the
fascinating story of his family as well as the genetic and traditional
genealogy methodology that was used to uncover it.
Registration is filling up. Reserve your space soon.
