DNA Tests: Finding Cousins with Autosomal DNA (Part 1) Ed McGuire April 2
Autosomal DNA (atDNA) tests are now the most popular genetic test among family historians. These atDNA tests will compare specific locations on your DNA to test results from genealogists around the globe. The basic science will have been covered in our class on Feb. 13th, so this talk goes on to compare different offerings, costs and features, as well as interpreting results and utilizing the tools available.

DNA Tests: Finding Cousins with Autosomal DNA (Part 2) April 9
This second class on atDNA testing will investigate the more advanced tools & analysis available at FamilyTreeDNA and at two popular 3d-party websites. You will learn how to migrate your test results to other sites, find matches to groups of people who tested with other companies, how to handle the growing emails & data using spreadsheets. You will also learn how to analyze pedigree charts from multiple cousins with minimal effort.
