Exploring Genetic Genealogy Coffee Chat
These meetings are open to BCGS members
using DNA results to enhance their genealogy research skills.
1st Monday of each month from 1 – 3 pm by ZOOM
Facilitator: Christene Hoffert
For Zoom Invite contact: coffeechat@bcgs.ca
Our round table discussions are intended to help people to learn by doing.
Everyone who participates is welcome to educate others around the table about the research tools they are using, and how they are using them.
Except under unusual circumstances, there is no set agenda for these meetings. We focus on whatever the people sitting around the table want or need to learn to accomplish their DNA research goals.
