Greetings! Below is the a sample of the meeting alerts I send through the NW-ISOGG Yahoo Group. If you would like to receive these reminders, just join ISOGG (no cost to you) by filling out the form (only name, phone and email are needed...and tell them you learned about this from me) at: www.iosgg.org Your information is not given/sold to anyone. I just need to know you have joined so I can connect you to the NW-ISOGG group for these emails. Regardless, anyone is welcome to attend the GFO DNA Interest Group Meeting mentioned in the info below... (AND, I can spell Library...duh!) Reminder from: NW-ISOGG Yahoo! Group Title: GFO DNA Interest Group Meeting Date: Tuesday January 10, 2012 Time: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Next reminder: The next reminder for this event will be sent in 10 days, 4 minutes. Location: Genealogical Forum of Oregon Libary Street: 2505 SE 11th Suite B-18 (Basement Suite) City State Zip: Portland OR 97202 Phone: 503-963-1932 Notes: January's meeting will be jam-packed! Please be on time as the full two hours will be needed. The following topics are to be covered: 1. A short review of the events at the Family Tree DNA International Conference. 2. Review of a new DNA book. 3. Preview of myFTDNA 2.0 webpages 4. Time to explore the new personal webpages of Family Tree DNA using a handout to guide you. 5. Optional: Explore 23andMe website. (Bring your password) Using the society's computers or your own laptop, Emily, Tim Jansen and David Reynolds will assist members with use of the Family Tree DNA and the 23andMe personal webpages. These pages will include test results for the Y-DNA, mtDNA and the Family Finder Test for FTDNA and the Ancestry test for 23andMe. If you have tested with FTDNA, bring your kit number and code to explore your own pages. If you have not, you can view kit information that will be provided. Due to the size of the room and the number of computers, please bring your own laptop if you have one. You may also share computers or watch someone else. This will also be of interest if you plan on testing later with either company. Donations to cover the cost of the handout are accepted. Bring a friend! See you there! Emily If you do not hear from me in a timely manner, just write again...I was buried in email.
