"Understanding and Utilizing Your Ancestry DNA Results"

DNA basics and instruction on how to use your Ancestry DNA Matches will be covered, as well as an explanation of DNA Circles and New Ancestor Discoveries, which you may have also seen on your Ancestry DNA page.
Members of our own DNA Special Interest Group will also be on hand to answer questions.
