ABOUT THE MAIN PRESENTATION:
You have a great tree. Now what? How do you know it is correct? This presentation reviews the many DNA tools available today to help confirm each of your lines. Along the way you may discover new truths, and help your DNA matches discover their truths.
ABOUT RICK KLEMETSON:
Rick Klemetson caught the genealogy bug while taking a genealogy class at BYU in 1984. He helped many people around the world research their genealogy. Rick has been involved in the computer industry since the 80's and currently teaches online classes for a Denver software company. He was introduced to DNA a decade ago, and became addicted to helping adopted people identify their birth families. He has helped hundreds of adoptees find their families over the years.
ABOUT THE CLASS:
We will review several DNA search cases and how the tools were used to solve them.
