September 2021 Chapter Meeting
September 19, 2021 @ 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm
An Introduction to DNA Clustering, presented by chapter member Nina Bruhns
Do you have a brick wall you can’t get past? Or perhaps you are searching for an unknown parent or grandparent due to adoption or an NPE? Using DNA is an awesome way to help you uncover new information that can aid in your quest to fill in those gaps and unknown ancestors. One of the very best tools available to sort out all those zillions of DNA matches is known as clustering. With clustering you can quickly and easily identify groups of matches who all share a common ancestral couple, and sometimes even a single ancestor, thus focusing your search to the matches that are most relevant. It is also the first step to take when starting a DNA chromosome mapping project. Join Nina’s presentation to learn about this super useful technique!
