Discover how to use a variety of websites to learn more about
your military ancestors at low or no cost. Sites like Fold3, Ancestry,
FamilySearch, and JewishGen will reveal military documents including
draft registrations, enlistment records, transport lists, military
registers, and separation documents. We will discuss how to find
your military ancestor's unit, what they did, and where they did
it. We will also weave in a case study of the highest-ranking Jewish
general from WWII, Maurice Rose. What better way to honor and thank
our ancestors for their military service!

Exploring DNA Testing for Genealogy Research
200,000 MATCHES! HELP!
and
Online DNA Tools and your Brick Walls
Presented by Gil Bardige
Genetic Genealogist
|
|
1:30-2:30 pm - Session 1 - 200,000 MATCHES! HELP!
Genetic testing can be a powerful tool for genealogical
research. DNA results can generate clues that can help people
confirm or deny relationships. But DNA results can also be confusing
and frustrating. In this presentation, Gil Bardige will share
proven methodologies to help you prioritize your top 50 matches
so that you can have the highest probability of finding a common
relative on a family tree, and provide you with actionable processes
that you can really use in your genealogy research.
2:30-3:00 pm - Break/reception
3:00-4:00 pm - Session 2 - Online DNA Tools and your Brick Walls
Do you have endogamy in your family tree? You are
probably wondering what the best online tools are to use in
your family history research. Gil Bardige will discuss strategies
and challenges when using popular 3rd party tools in such cases.
He will demonstrate how to use – or not use – different online
tools, including Ethnicity, Shared Matches, Clusters, WATO (What
are the Odds) and SCMP (shared centimorgan project). After this
lecture, you will find yourself more productive and effective
in applying your DNA matches to your genealogy.
