On Thursday evening, October 2, MGS and the DNA Interest Group host Judy Russell for “DNA Goes Genderless.” This requires a separate registration.Visit http://mngs.org/ for details.
Judy’s description of this presentation: “Until 2010, genealogists could only use DNA to help prove ancestry if they could find sons of sons of a male ancestor or daughters of daughters of a female ancestor to test against each other. With the advent of autosomal DNA testing, DNA has gone genderless: it’s now possible to test a male descendant of a man or woman against a female descendant. Learn more about this exciting addition to the toolkit of 21st century genealogists.”
