I have been immersed in DNA for the past few months! I am ready to start blogging again, but here’s a quick update:
January/February: Worked with an adoptee to locate his biological father.
with Blaine Bettinger in Austin “immersed” in DNA
May: Attended a 2-day workshop with Blaine Bettinger in Austin and learned how to do Visual Phasing, use some advanced DNA tools, and more!
June: Started working with other “unknown parentage” cases and DNA Detectives as a “Search Angel” (meaning without charging).
with CeCe Moore at GRIP in Pennsylvania
July: Spent a week at GRIP in Pennsylvania taking “Advanced Genetic Genealogy” with CeCe Moore, Blaine Bettinger, Dr. Tom Jones, and genetic counselor Brianne Kirkpatrick of WatershedDNA.
Come hear me speak on “Only Half My Genes: The Search for a Biological Father”
August: This weekend, I will be giving my first presentation – based on DNA and adoption – outside of my local genealogical society. If you’re near Huntsville, Texas, I hope you can come and join us! My presentation is at 11:30 on Saturday morning. The event is the Frances Sprott Goforth Memorial Genealogy Weekend and you can find a flyer by clicking here.
I am excited about the field of Genetic Genealogy and where it is headed!
