Dwyer Center Classroom
Instructor: Annette Graham.
Have you gotten your results back and not sure what all the features are with the website? Do you have unknown FamilyTree DNA.com matches in your match list? Do you need to know how to "sort your socks" (sort your matches)? Are you struggling to identify ancestors 4-6 generations back? The limited seating workshop will allow us to work in a small group to show you how to get the most out of your DNA results. Each workshop will vary, depending on the attendees and their specific results and research goals. Attendees will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement due to the nature of the class. You must have access to DNA results and active subscriptions to the specific database being highlighted in order to participate in the workshop.
Due to the content of this class, it is limited to only 8 attendees! We ask that you pre-register by calling SAGHS at 210-342-5242 or emailing education@txsaghs.org. A $5.00 contribution is asked from SAGHS members and a $10.00 donation is asked from non-members.
