The next meeting will be on March 30, 2017 at 7 pm at the LDS Church.
Note that this is on the 5th Thursday instead of our usual date of the 3rd Thursday.
This is to avoid conflict with the trip to Salt Lake City.
We will have a Q & A session in the first part of the meeting, then there will be a talk on "How to deal with your Autosomal DNA Test Matches".This will cover how to choose which matches to investigate, how to use what each testing company offers to narrow down your search for long-lost cousins, and more.
