The data compiled represent the largest forgotten census of American women ever conducted.

Organizing your DNA Matches
7:00 pm Virtual via Zoom
With the growth of the DNA kits, each of us now receive a good deal of information about potential relatives; however, we frequently find ourselves puzzled about a DNA match unknown to us, with few clues as to their relationship. In this session, we will cover how to organize DNA matches with some potential coding schemes, identify clues from our shared DNA lists, and learn how to apply some techniques to start to identify these individuals in our family tree.
Speaker: Jon Smith. Jon is a member of HCGS and serves as the Education Committee Chair. Jon is also an instructor of various genealogy courses at Howard Community College.
