SLIG Academy for Professionals 2023: DNA Dreamers in Action: Writing Proof Arguments

For the first time, DNA Dreamers in Action: Writing Proof Arguments is being offered in a multi-week format. This course has received excellent reviews! Are you read to work on or to polish that case study that incorporates DNA evidence?


DNA Dreamers in Action: Writing Proof Arguments, coordinated by Karen Stanbary, MA, LCSW, CG, is a hands-on course designed for those genealogists who have completed research about a biological relationship and now wish to "write it up" into a polished complex argument. It will teach you how to craft a genealogical proof argument demonstrating that a conclusion about a genetic relationship meets the Genealogical Proof Standard.

Faculty will be available for consultation during weekly sessions and students will partner with another student for peer review.

This is an advanced course and assumes the student is well-versed in beginning and intermediate DNA topics including inheritance paths, interpretation of markers and mutations, genetic relationship predictions, endogamy, pedigree collapse, clustering, chromosome mapping, targeted testing plans, and DNA-related Genealogy Standards.
