Webinars have limited seating and can fill up early. I don’t know the capacity for Ontario Ancestors’ free monthly webinars, but if interested in DNA, you should probably register early for the one in November. The speaker is a popular one.
On Thursday, November 7, Dr. Maurice Gleeson will present A Step-by-Step Approach to Working with Your DNA Matches. The webinar will begin at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time.
We all get a little daunted when we see our huge number of matches for the first time. Where do you start figuring out how each one is related to you? Are there some simple tricks you can use to separate your matches into different groups? And how do you keep track of everything? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this presentation. Dr. Gleenson takes us through a simple step-by-step approach that will help you get a better grip on your autosomal DNA matches and how to make them work for you.
Dr. Gleeson was voted Genetic Genealogist of the Year 2015 (SurnameDNA Journal) and Superstar Genealogist, Ireland 2016 (Canada’s Anglo-Celtic Connections). He runs a variety of Y-DNA surname projects (for the surnames Gleeson, Farrell, Spearin, Maloney, O’Malley, among others), helps adoptees find their birth families, organizes the DNA lectures at Genetic Genealogy Ireland each year, and has popular educational videos on YouTube about the use of DNA as a genealogical tool. His background is as a doctor, psychiatrist, pharmaceutical physician, and professional actor.
Register to watch the live webinar, and remember to arrive a few minutes ahead of time. A recording will be available afterward to society members.
