SUMMARY:DNA for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:DNA for Beginners\, Susan Bates  \nThe biggest benefit of getting your DNA tested is the opportunity to find matches with previously unknown relatives who can lead you to further discoveries in the search for your ancestors. However\, interpreting the information provided with a match can be tricky and ambiguous. What exactly is a “second cousin\, once removed”? What relationship might you share with a match of 150 cM? Some basic concepts will be explained to help you stay on the right track(s) as you make the most of your DNA test results.

SUMMARY:NFHS General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Marianne Rasmus of Ottawa\, Ontario \nA Russian Revelation\, A family shaped by significant historical events. \nWe have all hit our fair share of brick walls while doing family history research\, but how about an ‘Iron Curtain’?  When Marianne Rasmus began exploring her family history\, little was known about her maternal grandmother’s ancestry. Her grandmother had died before Marianne knew to ask her about her childhood\, her emigration from Communist Russia in 1926\, or how she adjusted to life in Canada. Starting with a handful of names\, Marianne will reveal the process and sources used to discover a deep maternal heritage about which she knew little\, and the circumstances which made it challenging to learn. \nMarianne will share how historical events in both Canada and Europe affected her grandmother in a life-altering fashion\, and how perseverance and a little DNA shed light on long-unanswered questions. \nby Zoom and in person
