Genies Research Group Coming!

                                                                     Urgent Exciting News!

                                                                            Genies Research Group

                    Next Monday, 10/26, at 1:00 by zoom

We are announcing a research group to meet outside of our regular monthly meeting.  We'll use our own case studies as examples.  

Genealogy Research is the broad topic and DNA is one source we use.  Traditional research and DNA go hand in hand. You use traditional research to figure out what the DNA is telling you and you use DNA to prove your traditional research.  

At our last meeting, some of you were talking about DNA Painter.  We will dip our toes in at the first meeting and dig deeper as we go along.

The group will be intermediate and become advanced.  We can bring along beginners but you will need to learn on your own too. 

There will not be lectures or handouts.  I will share whatever I know.  Others will too.

Dive in with the first meeting next Monday, 10/26, at 1:00 by zoom.  RSVP by replying to this message.  We'll see if we get enough response to meet.  If you want to join in, RSVP and you will receive emails about this group.  If you are interested but cannot come next Monday, let me know.

12:45 open the zoom meeting.  Chat.
1:00 sharp - 1:45   David presents a case study of the situation he discussed at our last meeting.  We will make suggestions.
1:45 -2:15   DNA Painter intro.  We will walk through some of the features but not do any work.  If time, talk about tree triangulation and segment triangulation
2:15-2:30   How will we proceed? (when and how often do you want to meet?, how should we structure the meetings? what next?)

We may feel rushed and short of time.  I will be around until 3 to hear more opinions and questions.
