Program Description

Event Details

DNA can offer important clues in solving genealogical mysteries, but only if you understand how to use the site you tested on.

In this series, local professional genealogist, Susan VH Fabian, will help you navigate each of the four main DNA testing sites: Ancestry DNA, FamilyTree DNA, MyHeritage DNA, and 23 and Me.  Each month a different testing platform will be explored and you will learn how to access your matches, and be introduced to the tools available to get the most our of your DNA results.  Attend the session for the site you tested at or come to all four and explore the possibilities the other sites have to offer.

Although 23 and Me's focus is on DNA and health, there are a lot of genealogy tools on the site.  In this session, you will learn where to find your matches and what clues they offer.  You'll discover the tools the site offers including the family tree predictor and chromosome tools.  You'll also access your health traits and other reports.  Please sign up online or call.
