SLIG Fall Virtual 2022: Proving Your Pedigree with DNA

Back by popular demand!

Proving Your Pedigree with DNA, coordinated by Karen Stanbary, MA, LCSW, CG, will lead you in applying your DNA analysis skills to the documentation of one of your ancestral lines back to a second great-grandparent couple. Learn to incorporate genetic evidence in a proof of parentage as part of a fully documented compiled genealogy meeting Genealogy Standards. First taught during SLIG Fall Virtual 2021 and receiving excellent reviews, this is the intermediate level DNA course you need.

Highlights of the course:

• Practical step-by-step examples
• Hands-on practice with your own DNA results and research project
• Weekly private one-on-one consultations with expert faculty members

By the end of the course, you will have:

• A source cited lineage, including proof of biological parentage that meets Genealogy Standards;
• A graphic descendant tree;
• A unique, student-generation "Golden Nuggets" Quicksheet.
