Description:
DNA testing has grown in popularity to the point that the public and many amateur genealogists equate DNA testing to genealogy. As professional genealogists in the 21st century, it is imperative that we be as familiar and comfortable with using DNA test results as we are with using census and vital records. The purpose of this course is to familiarize professionals with educational resources; tools and methodologies to streamline the integration of documents and DNA; application of DNA tests results to genealogical research questions; presentation of that information to clients in an understandable format; and the ethical issues surrounding DNA testing.
Pre-requisites:
This course will require a basic familiarity of DNA testing types, and the five major vendors that offer genetic ancestry testing.
Registration: Registration opens Saturday, 7 July 2018. For more detailed information please visit www.sligacademy.ugagenealogy.org.
