Greetings! Starting in 2013 the GFO DNA Interest Group is meeting on the fourth Saturdays in Jan, Apr, Jul and Oct only. Please put this schedule on your calendar: Jan 26 from 10-noon Apr 27 from 10-noon Jul 27 from 10-noon Oct 26 from 10-noon PLEASE NOTE: At this moment, the Calendar on the GFO site is correct, but the information under the Interest Group section was never updated. I have request that this be done right away. The January meeting is for Newbies and anyone who needs a review in the topics below. The basics of these will be covered. I think we can meet in the back with the projector as there is no Power Point presentation, but I will show you the information online. Handouts are $.05 per printed side as that's my cost from my local UPS company. Y-DNA (Y-chromosome DNA - all-male line; top line of the pedigree chart) mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA - all-female line; bottom line of the pedigree chart) atDNA (autosomal DNA - Lines anywhere on a six-generation pedigree chart) Geno 2.0 (National Genographic's new atDNA test for ANCIENT ancestry) FTDNA Conference in November (my blog covers nearly everything, so check it out first. Third URL below my name.) Hopefully, there will be time for questions as there is the British meeting following us at 1 pm. We need to be out of their way so they can set-up also. For this reason, we may move to the hall to answer some of your questions if time runs out. Thank you, Emily If you do not hear from me in a timely manner, just write again...I was buried in email.
