Imagine someone asking you to research their great grandfather but only allowing you to use 6.25% of the available genealogical records for the research. That seems ridiculous! But that is the limitation most people unknowingly place on themselves with DNA research. In this session you will learn: ~How to calculate DNA coverage (the percentage of an ancestor’s DNA you are using for research) ~Collaborating with relatives who have already tested ~Who to test next for the best coverage ~Descendancy research considerations and strategies ~Tips for recruiting testers Learn more about the event: https://lnkd.in/gxB5ri5y To get on the SGS DNA Interest Group email list, contact SGSDNASIG(at)seagensoc.org. #GenealogyClass #DNA #GeneticGenealogy #FamilyHistoryResearch #SeattleGenealogicalSociety #Seattle #FamilyTree #LegacyTree #LegacyTreeGenealogists

Today's genealogical tip! Regarding Genetic Research: Each person has a genealogical and a genetic family tree. *A genealogical relationship is measured in generations. It can include everyone. *A genetic relationship is measured in centimorgans (cMs). It only includes some - albeit many - of a person's kin. Most people have 23 chromosome pairs. *We inherit one-half from our father and one-half from our mother. So does a sibling, but the mix may be different. That is why siblings look different. Although identical twins inherit identical combinations. *On average, we inherit 25% of our DNA from each of our grandparents. #research
