DNA Interest Group Meeting – 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the SCGS Library

Sunday, January 27, 2019 – DNA Uses in Pedigree Building

Kathy Johnston will review the basic science used in genetic genealogy including the measure of “distance” in centimorgans and how to estimate cousinship using autosomal DNA. She will explain how autosomal information from the four main genetic genealogy companies along with free GEDmatch comparisons can be used to maximize cousin matches. Matches in common can be used to identify clusters of descendants from a common ancestor or ancestral couple. The addition of collateral lines to your family tree can help you and your DNA cousins break through brick walls when you work together. Find out why law enforcement is so eager to learn these genetic genealogy techniques to solve cold cases. 

Speaker: Kathy Johnston, M.D. is a retired dermatologist who has been actively researching her family tree for over 27 years. She is one of the administrators for the SCGS DNA Interest Group (DIG) and has been involved in genetic genealogy research for 14 years.

What happened to free live streaming at Jamboree?

Ancestry.com has generously underwritten the Jamboree live streaming program for several years and is doing so again this year.  The SCGS is very appreciative of Ancestry’s support of our conferences. Unfortunately, ever increasing costs have caught up to us and prevent us from offering this event at no charge. The Jamboree Committee has kept fees as low as possible. For members, the fee of $10 for 12 classes is just 83 cents per class.  For non-members, the fee of $55 for the 12 classes is just $4.58 per class. Compared to other conference live stream offerings, SCGS remains a bargain!
