The description of the four talks is:

• Session 1 – DNA and Ancestry – How to Utilize it – After a brief review of the tools available on AncestryDNA, we will dive into the techniques used by professional genetic genealogists to discover the connections between you and your pages of AncestryDNA matches.

• Session 2 – Ancestry Search Tips and Tricks – Ancestry currently has more than 16 billion records online and millions more are added every single day. We want to provide you with as many ways into those records as possible. Crista shares some of her favorite tips to make you a search pro and a true researcher

• Session 3 – Finding and Sharing the Stories in Your Family Tree – Studies show that children who grow up knowing the stories of their family’s history (good or bad) are more resilient in the face of life’s challenges. There are stories in every family tree. In this session we will learn easy ways to discover those stories.

• Session 4 – Introduction to the Genealogical Professional Standards – Each of us must decide what information we are comfortable sharing publicly. At the same time, we have an obligation to ourselves, our family, and our ancestors to ensure that the family tree we build and put out there, is as accurate as possible. Join us to review the five steps of the Genealogical Proof Standard and learn how to apply them.
