In the first part of the meeting we will have an open forum where members will be able to ask questions and share their stories of successes or difficulties that they have encountered while pursuing Genetic Genealogy. Come prepared to participate.
We will then invite you to open your computer, logon to various sites, and answer a series of questions that we hope will help you to become more familiar with these sites. Please have your login information for all your DNA sites handy when you attend the meeting.
