Advances in DNA research over the last decades have had huge implications for the field of genealogy. Yet, with the growing number of companies and options, it can be difficult to know which test is best for you and for your genealogical goals. New England Historic Genealogical Society provides online tools, publishes DNA case studies, offers one-on-one assistance, and leads education programs to help individuals interpret their results and to advance their family history discoveries. Whether you’re completely new to DNA testing or you have already taken a DNA test—or two or three—this full-day seminar will provide you with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to interpret your results, make important genealogical connections, and take your family history research to the next level.

 

Cost: $125, includes five lectures, breakfast, lunch, access to museum galleries, and wine reception.
