Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is from the JGSGB DNA Special Interest Group (DNA SIG) by Zoom, but all JGSGB members are of course welcome. I am sending out the invitation to register a bit early to give you time to send in your questions beforehand by 8 July.
• Date: Sunday 11 July 2021
• Time: 14:00 London; 09:00 New York; 16:00 Jerusalem; 07:00 Salt Lake City
• Title: DNA testing for family history
• Speaker: Debbie Kennett
• Description: DNA testing is an essential tool for the family historian and has the potential to provide answers which can’t be found from the paper trail alone. Nearly 40 million people around the world have now taken a DNA test and the large databases are helping to reunite long-lost cousins and break down long-standing brick walls. In this talk we will look at the three different types of DNA test and how they can be used to help with your family history research with a particular focus on the challenges of working with Jewish DNA results.
