Interpreting Your DNA Results
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Presentation Topic/Description:
Have you DNA tested with Ancestry, MyHeritage, or 23andMe and do not know what the next steps are? In this presentation, Rebecca will discuss different methodologies and techniques including 3rd party DNA tools for understanding your ethnicity results and DNA matches. Several examples will be shared of how Rebecca reconnected with some of her long-lost relatives and found new relatives confirming her family’s lineages through documented evidence, and interpreting centimorgan count, shared DNA, and triangulated DNA. Rebecca will also discuss the importance of DNA testing with different companies, some of the different features the companies have, and how they can also help with finding connections to your DNA matches.
