JGSGB Members’ Social Meeting – Sun 13 June 2021 2pm – with Michael Tobias – “The Woolf Pack - a DNA case study”
The JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme has, this coming Sunday, our annual Members’ Social Meeting by Zoom on a DNA theme by Vice President Michael Tobias OBE.
• Date: Sunday 13 June 2021
• Time: 14:00 London; 09:00 New York; 16:00 Jerusalem; 07:00 Salt Lake City
• Title: The Woolf Pack - a DNA case study
• Speaker: Michael Tobias OBE
• Description: During the Covid19 pandemic in the UK Michael was approached by several people whose recent DNA tests had revealed Jewish ancestry (typically an unknown Jewish birth father). This talk will cover one such case and will provide an overview of the steps taken in under 2 weeks to construct a family tree of over 800 individuals including over 40 DNA matches and identifying the Jewish birth father.
At the end of the talk, questions will be answered and listener opinions will be welcomed.
After a 15-minute tea break we will return for a fun exploration of Zoom rooms where we will delight you with some topics of interest, facilitated by Vice-chairman Daniel Morgan-Thomas.
