SUMMARY:BIFHSGO - DNA SIG - Two Sessions\, Genetic Proof Standards and mtDNA Testing\, October 3\, 2020\, 9:30pm-12:00pm
DESCRIPTION:Mags will discuss Genetic Proof Standards. What are they or is there one? Why do we have one and who created them? Can I use a 2cM shared match to prove a relationship? Mags will address all of your questions during this session. \nIn the Second Session Mags will talk about how she is a unicorn in mtDNA testing. She made a roundabout strange connection to her mtDNA via mtDNA testing. This roundabout way solved a heartbreaking family mystery. It’s an interesting story and one you haven’t heard before. The ins and outs of mtDNA testing\, how to’s and the where and the why’s. It’s all about the DNA.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Collaborative Genealogy\, WikiTree - September 19\, 2020\, 11am-12pm\, ISBGFH
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Collaborative Genealogy\, WikiTree – September 19\, 2020\, 11am-12pm\, ISBGFH – International Society for British Genealogy and Family History. \nWorking your family lines on sites like Ancestry\, Geni and Family Search are great ways to move your research forward IF you can find people willing to collaborate with you. One of the biggest complaints about doing just that\, collaborating\, keeps many from delving into this part of Genealogy. \nWikiTree has an answer. WikiTree is where genealogists collaborate and it works. Join Mags as she discusses WikiTree and the many ways to work with other genealogists to find the facts in the ancestor profiles as well as what to do when there is a disagreement on the facts (or lack of facts).

SUMMARY:Lennox and Addington Museum - DNA 201
DESCRIPTION:DNA 201 – Matching\, autosomal\, Y\, mitochondrial and X \n\nTips and tools to help you connect with your matches and your EKCA’s (Earliest Known Common Ancestor). Matching is easy! I have a match who is listed as a fourth cousin AND they share my surname. I am done. Not so fast. Is your surname a common surname? Does the match have a good paper trail (traditional genealogy) back to a common ancestor? There are many more things to do to make sure that match is the right match. We look at how to work your matches and what tools might be available to help you make that connection.

SUMMARY:An African Canadian Family History Mystery - UGA DNA
DESCRIPTION:I’ll be webinaring (new verb) one of my best-loved talks\, An African Canadian Family History Mystery on the 26th of this month. Not that I am bragging or that the presentation is all that good (it is)\, but it’s the conversations it starts that make it so powerful. \nIt’s the story of a family who in this day and age had heard rumors of something “different” in their ancestry. It was an adoption dating back to the early 1800’s. The wife of the couple was reported to be the aunt of the lad\, and he was adopted because his father was “not nice” to him. This is a story in and of itself\, but add in that the adoptive father was an African Canadian man\, the boy took his name and the rumors of blood cousins who might be African Canadian as well? \nToday this story still makes a difference in how this family tell their story. so much so\, one descendant asked me a simple question. Is my name really what it is? This spurred months of research and a whole hornet’s nest of family lore vs. the truth. A Truth that is still being uncovered by family DNA testers today. \nJoin me for this one gang\, it’s an incredible story! \nTimezone is MST – 6-7pm MST (8-9pm EST)

SUMMARY:WikiTree Source-A-thon Hangouts
DESCRIPTION:Source-a-What?\nThis is our third 72-hour sourcing marathon. The first one in 2016 was lots of fun and together we added sources to over 22\,000 profiles. Last year we had almost 500 participants and added sources to over 53\,000 profiles! \nOur goal is to clear out the Unsourced Profiles category on WikiTree. Although including sources is in our community’s Honor Code\, inexperienced genealogists don’t always record them. Sometimes the source is “Aunt Mabel\,” as Mags put it. This doesn’t mean the information isn’t worth preserving or sharing. It’s a starting point — information waiting to be confirmed. \nLike a marathon\, this is a competition\, but most participants won’t be serious competitors. Most of us will be doing it for the challenge of sourcing as many profiles as they can\, for the mission\, and for the fun of it. \nWe will be hosting live Google Hangouts throughout the weekend to cheer each other on. During every chat we will draw a winner for a door prize. Every participant who is online and adding sources during that time will be eligible. \nSchedule\nThe party starts Friday morning\, September 28\, at 8 AM (ET) and runs until Monday\, October 1\, at 8 AM (ET). (Eastern Daylight Time is GMT -4.) Genealogists from all over the world will be participating at the same time.

SUMMARY:DNA Workshops at OGS Conference 2018
DESCRIPTION:Your favorite Blueberry loving Genetic Genealogist will be presenting Workshops on Friday June 1st at the Ontario Genealogical Society Conference in Guelph\, Ontario. \nFriday Afternoon\nDNA and the Global Family Tree\nDNA and adding your DNA connections to a Global family tree. Attempting to breakdown brickwalls using DNA can be daunting. Which “Global” family Trees are truly capable of connecting you to your DNA matches? Which is best for the kind of DNA test taken? How do each of the Global Family Tree’s propagate DNA results? How do you find matches and make connections on these Trees? Working across all DNA testing Companies and all Global Family Tree Sites we will look at which “Global” family trees work best for DNA. Via hands on work\, participants will work through the process of making DNA connections and help to get their DNA Global Family Tree connections working for them. – Computer Skills are essential to this workshop.
