We were very fortunate that the Mount Dora Library Association and W.T. Bland Public Library sponsored Jim Lannin, who spoke at our October meeting. His presentation on 'Practical DNA for Genealogy" was excellent. He provided a good overview of how to utilize DNA results to build your family tree.
His talk began with an explanation of the various types of DNA tests and the results they produce. He suggested that an individual's DNA results be uploaded to FamilyTree DNA, as well as DNA Gedcom to enhance the amount of DNA matches. The closest DNA matches will provide the best opportunities for building an individual's family tree.
He provided copies of charts which will help an individual determine the relationship between themselves and their DNA matches. Jim also provided a list of resources that provide additional information on DNA testing and how to use it in your genealogy research.
The copies of his handouts (including the resources and charts) are available by clicking here.
Jim's presentation was very informative and enjoyed by all. We extend our thanks to the Mount Dora Library Association and the W.T. Bland Public Library for sponsoring this event.
