Advanced DNA Coffee Chat

These online Zoom meetings are open to BCGS members using DNA results
to enhance their genealogy research skills. 

This group is facilitated by Terry Hartley with the assistance of Jim & Kathleen Graham.
The Advanced DNA Skills group is member-driven and participative.

Advanced tools and approaches to DNA analyses are discussed to
share and build on the experience of our members.

The Introductory DNA and Parental Puzzles groups are also available to members.

The Advanced DNA group covers genetic genealogy topics in greater depth and detail. 

Members are welcome to join more than one group based on their needs and interests. 

“DNA doesn’t lie, but you have to figure out what it is telling you.”

• CeCe Moore, The Genetic Detective

To promote an interactive environment, new members are accepted periodically based on group size.

An overview of work by the group is available in the BCGS April 2022 newsletter.
