JGSGB DNA SIG - 6 Feb 2022 2pm – with Gil Bardige – “Help! I Got My Autosomal DNA Results; What are the Next Steps?” – Part 2
- Date: Sunday 6 February 2022
- Time: 14:00 London; 09:00 New York; 16:00 Jerusalem; 15:00 Switzerland
- Title: Help! Part 2 -- I Got My Autosomal DNA Results; What are the Next Steps? (Intermediate/Advanced Level)
- Speaker: Gil Bardige
- Description: Okay, you viewed Gil’s first presentation and are no longer a beginner; you have followed the formulas and prioritized your matches; you made contact with the matches and added everyone to your tree (probably not). Now, what should you do? What are the next steps?
This presentation will guide you through the next steps including modifying Gil’s formulae for prioritization and the next levels of realistic matches. This will include triangulation, applying DNA Clusters, and DNA Painter techniques.* The goal is to assist you in continuing to have a formal process that you can tailor to your own needs to prioritize and track, confirm/deny your DNA match results that can help: breakdown brick walls in your genealogy research, confirm genealogical relationships, refute genealogy relationships you couldn’t prove by common resources (i.e. same surname or town but distant or no DNA relationship). This will include a couple of brief case studies of how Gil used these techniques in his own research.
* NB: this is going to be very detailed and to get the most out of it you will need to have worked with the processes and formulas given out last time in Part 1. Gil will be addressing some of the brick walls you may have run into and the next steps.
About Gil Bardige
Gil Bardige lives the Columbus Ohio area. A graduate of the New York Institute of Technology, Gil is recently retired after a long career in air conditioning and refrigeration, most recently as a national business development leader for Trane.
At the “instruction” of his mother, Gil began his genealogy adventure in 1979 with 54 people in his tree. Today his family tree, including Mishpocha, is over 2000 people tracing 4 branches back to his 5th great-grandfathers born about 1740. His families arrived in Chicago in the early 20th century in the early 1900s.
For the last 13+ years Gil has expanded his knowledge base to genetic genealogy, testing at each of the four major DNA companies, and currently manages three Y-DNA projects at Family Tree DNA as a Volunteer Administrator. He loves to help people manage their expectations and begin to remove confusion from the DNA results whether it’s Y-DNA, mtDNA, or Autosomal DNA.
Gil is the new Chair of the Genealogy Committee of the Columbus Jewish Historical Society (JGS). He has spoken at a number of local events and international conferences, including at IAJGS in Orlando, Cleveland, Virtual San Diego and Virtual Philadelphia.
Gil is a firm believer that you can use DNA results as a tool in your genealogical research as it generates clues that can help people confirm/deny relationships. His speaking style is high energy (you won’t be bored) and he loves to take questions. People have said of his presentations, “Thank you, Gil, I am no longer confused!”
After the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A on the talk.
