Diahan Southard will be walking us through the ABC’s of DNA for a three-hour webinar from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday,  Aug. 28.   Diahan believes that you don’t have to know everything about DNA to use it effectively to solve genealogical problems . . . and she can prove it.  Come listen/see by Zoom.   You might want to pick up her easy-to-digest DNA primer, Your DNA Guide,  before the webinar.  She’s another much sought-after speaker on the genealogy circuit.

ABC Strategies For Working With DNA Matches — key strategies to use on your match list to identify particular matches or to break down brick walls.  Ask the Wife (dividing genetic networks); Bottoms Up (working from the bottom of your match list); and Cousin Categories (determining which kinds of cousins might answer your questions).

Behind The Genetic Genealogy Curtain — how the testing company comes up the numbers of those little shared pieces of DNA and how you can use them to build your family history.

It’s $25 for members,  $30 for non-members. Register at austingenealogicalsociety.org
