The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society will host the free webinar, Identifying and Examining DNA Outliers, presented by Blaine Bettinger, today, Monday, April 20, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
The amount of DNA shared by two people with a specific genealogical connection can vary considerably. The Shared cM Project attempts to identify these ranges by collecting information from thousands of example relationships. However, sometimes we find shared DNA amounts that don’t fit the expected relationship. Does this mean the expected relationship is incorrect, or that it is truly an outlier? Together we will examine the methodologies used to examine possible outlier situations.
