Placing your DNA matches on your tree (Monthly Meetings)
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm Hybrid - Round Rock Public Library & via Zoom
Earlier start time.
When you take a DNA test, you'll receive a match list of mostly strangers. Who are these people, and how are you connected? This session discusses strategies for identifying your DNA matches and determining your common ancestors. Whether your goal is to collect more information about your ancestors or break through brick walls on your tree, gaining a better understanding of your DNA matches can lead to new discoveries.
Ryan Russell is a genetic genealogist with Open Door Genetics, Break Investigative Group, and United Data Connect. Ryan specializes in using DNA to solve unknown parentage and law enforcement cases. He hopes to play a small part in restoring the world to the way things should be, whether through reuniting families or seeking justice for victims of crimes and their loved ones. He also serves as the Teaching Pastor at First Baptist Temple.
Join us at the Round Rock Public Library for this Zoom presentation.
