HYBRID MEETING from 10 am -2 pm
"The Importance of the Big Y-700 - New Feature: Group Time Tre"
Family
Tree DNA has recently added a new feature, the Group Time Tree, that project managers
can use to improve grouping that involves Big Y-700 testers. This new feature
graphically shows how different lines are descended from one another. When Y-DNA
testing first began, all we could do was show matches by comparing STRs. STRs
are much less stable than SNPs. This lecture will demonstrate how testing the
Big-Y can be useful for men in large projects and also informative for men who
have few matches.
Presenter: Alice M. Fairhurst, MS is past president of
the Southern California Genealogical Society and managers a number of DNA projects
at FamilyTreeDNA. She managed the International Society of Genetic Genealogy's
Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree for nine years.

Individualized help will be available after the formal presentation

help managing their personal page or interpreting their results. Brown bag or
join us for pizza for an additional $5.00.
DNA Administrators Meeting 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. Roundtable
discussions include how to work with group projects, planning for the DNA interest
