and where they may be found.

No Fear – Understanding Data for DNA is Here!
by Edward Swierczewski, Jr.
DNA testing has skyrocketed, and genealogists need to understand and correctly
interpret the various data and results related to DNA. We will review: different
data types; typical results for the various DNA tests; the Shared cM Project;
the WATO tool and others on the DNA Painter site. We will focus on developing
comprehension and comfort levels for the newest tools in our genealogical toolbox.
Edward John Swierczewski Jr. has been a professional educator for over
30 years, researching and lecturing in Psychology and Human Services at several
major universities and government agencies in New York City. He has attended many
webinars and conferences, completed several SLIG and GRIP courses, is currently
in ProGen 53, and plans to earn the CG and CGL credentials. He has been researching
his family history for over 25 years, and he has a deep passion for sharing his
knowledge with others. |
