SUMMARY:The Surname Society AGM/Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:Surname Projects and DNA Projects\, What is the difference? \nIs it all YDNA? Can we use mtDNA to further a Surname Study? What about XDNA\, isn’t X only handed down from the Mother to the daughter (no it’s not)\, can it help?

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.

You’ll have all the latest developments on matching in the Genetic Genealogy Community at your finger tips and in your Genealogy tool box by the time we are finished.” \nYou can register for this Workshop here. \nVisit Your Grandma!

I will be presenting an African Canadian Family History Mystery. \nThe family lore states that a lsd was adopted by an African gentleman and his English wife\, presumably the lad’s aunt. The lad “took” the African gentleman’s surname and it was handed down for generations. A descendant wants to know his true surname and male ancestral line. \nFollow the Lore\, the research and the tale of the DNA as the answers are revealed.
