Finding Mona: An Autosomal DNA Detective Story

Speaker: Megan Lee

A gift of heritage; the adoptee solves her mother’s adoption and presents her with the results. This lecture balances methodologies, tools, and techniques used to solve adoptions and other challenging

brick walls with the complex and emotional components of adoption integration included. 

Megan Lee learned DNA through her adoption. She started DNA courses in 2013 without the constraints of a tree or expected results. She let the inheritance patterns of the DNA teach her the science. Now she’s addicted to DNA and even solved her double adoption! Megan has earned an Advanced Genetic Genealogy Certificate from GRIP, a Genetic Genealogy Certificate from Excelsior College, a Certificate in Genealogy from Boston University, and ProGen.

     Saturday, May 30, 2020 – DNA Painter and Its Various Tools

      Did you miss the DNA Painter Workshop at Jamboree because it sold out?  Don’t miss out on an opportunity to learn about this valuable tool. This popular tool continues to advance its capabilities to show how different ancestors contributed to your own genetic profile.  The color coded chromosome maps you can create with this program helps illuminate the influences of your ancestral heritage. The What Are the Odds (WATO) probability tools show possible ancestral connections. 

                    See https://dnapainter.com/help for more information on this powerful tool.

     Presenter: Tony Allegra is a beta tester for Living DNA and has helped explain this company’s value to others at Jamboree.  He is extremely knowledgeable about the various tools interpreting results of autosomal DNA tests and is an advocate for using the resources available in the DNA Painter suite.  .

[CA--SCGS] The SCGS Library Will Remain Closed Through the End of May 2020

Due to the spread of Covid-19 and information gained from health providers instructing people over 60 to avoid even small gatherings and as a preventative measure for slowing the spread of the virus against which there is no known protection, the SCGS library will be remain closed to researchers through the end of May 2020. 

At this time, we are working with all of our SCGS Interest Groups (Ethnic, Computer Software, Writer's Group, and DNA) to organize online meetings for the month of May. We will post those updates once each group has finalized their plans.

Please note that our Jamboree Webinar Extension Series will go on as planned. We look forward to 'seeing' you online!

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
