What Are You Doing?  (Monthly Meetings)
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm
September General Meeting
 
Ashton C. Mouton, Jr.  Will be demonstrating practical research strategies and cross-referencing techniques, including how to build continuous timelines and locate elusive ancestors.
Ashton C. Mouton, Jr. has a Master of Science degree in Management and has been doing genealogy since the mid-1980s.  He has been vice president or board member of over a dozen organizations.  He is married and living with his wife of more than 42 years.
Presently he is in the process of researching his ancestors for a book to be published hopefully by 2030. He will be stopping at his grandson’s 13th generation. Right now, he is in the 13th generation, but it is taking about three to four weeks per person to get some of the research work done.

yDNA and Mitrochondrial DNA - The father's and mother's lines
Wednesday, September 23
yDNA and Mitrochondrial DNA - The father's and mother's lines  (DNA SIG)
7:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Zoom Only
yDNA and Mitochondrial DNA are the father’s and mother’s lines.  We will discuss why you can disprove paternity but cannot prove it with just yDNA.  Also, you have more than one yDNA line you are tested in.  We will discuss the practicalities of testing and the reports you get.  Since last year, myDNA reporting has been improved.
We will also discuss if you followed the suggestion for August and finally got around to doing a LEEDS analysis, or picked an unknown DNA match and did a WATO+ analysis.
