Program:

After we’ve found our ethnicity estimates and scanned for any surprise close relatives, many of us don’t really know what to do next with our DNA results. This list of people that we’ve never heard of could open the door to new family photos and inspirational stories, but how do we figure it out? In this class, Genealogist Ginger Ogilvie of Keep Family History Services will provide a practical list of “to-do’s” and leave you with a better understanding of how to use your DNA cousin matches to answer challenging genealogical questions.
