DNA testing has been a transformative tool for genealogists—allowing you to confirm hypotheses, meet distant cousins, and solve some family mysteries. Depending on your goal, however, it can be difficult to determine which test or tests to utilize, how to interpret your results, understand how the results relate to your paper research, and how to keep your matches and research organized. Using several real-world case studies, this online course will demonstrate how to leverage autosomal, mitochondrial, and Y-DNA results effectively using a variety of tools and organizational methods.

In recent years, GEDmatch has developed increasingly powerful tools for genetic genealogists. With genetic profiles of about 1.8 million people in the database, GEDmatch’s database size and the analytical tools offered allow you to further your genealogical research and to help break through genealogical brick walls. These tools are flexible and allow for more accurate genetic analysis of the matching segment data than what other companies provide.

This presentation will highlight the most important features of GEDmatch that every genealogist needs to understand and to use such as the one-to-one, one-to-many, phasing, admixture, triangulation, matching segment search, Lazarus, AutoSegment, AutoKinship, AutoTree, multiple kit analysis, and other features.
