What a wonderful opportunity!

Looking forward to presenting this workshop with Midland Genealogical Society and Grace A. Dow Memorial Library on Wednesday!

"We triangulate!” Have you ever wondered what people mean when they say this about you or another DNA match? We need to “triangulate” with other matches to prove our genetic connection, but how do we do that? We’ll take time to define terms and explore different types of triangulation. Examples will be shared to demonstrate how comparing overlapping segments of autosomal DNA with our cousin matches can help us determine the ancestors we have in common.

The meeting will open with Midland Genealogical Society reports and business, with the DNA program to follow. Register at gadml.librarycalendar.com to receive the Zoom link, or join us in the Orchard Room to watch the virtual program together!
