It is not long now until the Guild conference. We have a DNA discussion planned for Friday 1st April: http://one-name.org/the-37th-guild-conference-agm-2016/ This session will be hosted, as it was last year, by me, Maurice Gleeson and Barbara Griffiths. It will once again be an informal discussion where Guild members can share their experiences and we can all learn from each other. In order to plan for the session we would like to solicit questions in advance. If you have any questions about your DNA project or any aspect of DNA testing that you would like to be discussed please can drop me a line by Wednesday 30th March. You might like to consider the following questions: 1. What support do you need for your DNA project? What would make your life easier? 2. What improvements would you like to see in the DNA results from Family Tree DNA? There are already some ideas listed in the ISOGG wish list: http://www.isogg.org/wiki/FTDNA_wish_list 3. Do you have any best practice tips that you would like to share with your fellow Guild members? Depending on the topics of interest we might consider breaking out into small groups to discuss specific issues. Birmingham is the centre of the DNA world in April because Who Do You Think You Are? Live takes place the weekend after the Guild conference. The DNA workshop, sponsored by Family Tree DNA, is now a firm fixture at Who Do You Think You Are? Live. We have a mixture of speakers from the worlds of academia and genetic genealogy. There are lots of Guild members who will be presenting in the DNA workshop: Maurice Gleeson, Linda Kerr, Emily Aulicino and James Irvine. Maurice will also be chairing all the DNA sessions. You can see the full timetable here: http://www.whodoyouthinkyouarelive.com/workshop-timetable-dna Three of the DNA talks (Dr Turi King on "Discovering Richard III, Richard Hill on "Finding family: a genetic detective story" and Bennett Greenspan on "Genetic genealogy: the past, the present and the future") will take place in SOG Theatre 2. These three talks can be booked in advance. The talks in the DNA workshop are on a first come first served basis.

Hi Debbie, Hope you are well. My question for the DNA Meeting would be, please: 'How do we as Group Administrators, with only basic knowledge, learn to interpret the results that we are sent by Family Tree DNA?' At the moment, I think that I am beginning to see the benefits of DNA. Having spent since January 2014 constructing Trees with my info (LOVE doing this, it is totally addictive!) and have four separate 'Twiglets'. However, if I am reading it correctly from their copious emails (groan!), there is going to be some joining up of these Twiglets...eventually! I am getting there, hopefully. Looking forward to seeing you at the weekend, Best wishes Sonia ________________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Debbie Kennett via <[email protected]> Sent: 24 March 2016 21:05 To: [email protected] Subject: [G] DNA discussion at the Guild conference and DNA at WDYTYA Live It is not long now until the Guild conference.
