Introduction to Genetic Genealogy: Understanding DNA for Family History


Course number : 3314e   

« back to classes page
DNA testing has transformed genealogy by creating new ways to discover family connections, confirm ancestral lines, and uncover branches of family history that traditional records alone may not reveal. Gain a practical introduction to genetic genealogy and learn how DNA evidence can support and strengthen family history research. Participants will explore the different types of DNA tests, how ethnicity estimates are calculated, and how to identify and interpret DNA matches. The session will also examine how genetic evidence can help confirm documentary research and assist in solving genealogical mysteries. Ethical considerations and the family dynamics that can arise through DNA testing will also be discussed. Ideal for individuals who have already taken a DNA test—or are considering one—this session provides a clear and approachable foundation for understanding how DNA results can be used to expand and deepen genealogy research.
