Register on Saturday, June 15th for the All-DNA Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum!

New in Fall 2019, SLIG will offer the Virtual All-DNA Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum course! This unique course tests a student's ability to plan, research, analyze, correlate, and solve complex genealogical research problems that use DNA.

This SLIG course challenges students as they work through five complex cases, one each week from October 12th through November 23rd. The five cases for the Virtual All-DNA Practicum will be brand new this year. 
The case study instructors are: 

  • Blaine Bettinger, PhD, JD
  • Melissa A. Johnson, CG
  • Thomas W. Jones, PhD, CG, CGL, FASG, FUGA, FNGS
  • Karen Stanbary, MA, LCSW, CG
  • Paul Woodbury, MEd

Virtual Practicum participants have a week to work on the case and then they gather together online on Saturday to discuss the case with fellow classmates and the case study author/instructor. They have a chance to compare strategies, methodologies, difficulties and results before the instructor demonstrates the case solution. This gives participants experience in working on a wide variety of genealogical problems.

The cases that students will work on in this course all require analyzing and correlating a combination of documentary and DNA evidence. Students should have advanced skills researching in all types of genealogical records, and solving tough genealogical problems. 


This course if for advanced students and has prerequisites, so please check the website before registering to make sure you meet them.

This course will meet online using Zoom Meetings. Students are responsible to provide their own equipment and adequate bandwidth to participate actively in the course. Webcams and noise-cancelling headphones are strongly advised. Additional technical information will be sent to registered participants via email.
