Topic details 

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? This class will provide a practical list of "to-do's," including an introduction to third-party tools and a better understanding of how formulating targeted research questions can bring us to a deeper understanding of our genetic and genealogical inheritance.
