Ethnicity Estimates Are Not Always Useless:
Learn What They Are (and Aren't) Telling You
by Paula Williams
7 p.m., via Zoom
Ethnicity estimates from autosomal DNA tests are intriguing, frustrating, and often misunderstood. Learn how to understand what the results can teach us and the limitations we should respect.
A professional genealogist, Paula has been researching for more than two decades in primarily southern U.S. states and has been using DNA to solve problems for more than a decade. She has taught at the IGHR and GRIP institutes and has lectured for Legacy Family Tree Webinars, the Southern California Genealogical Society's Genealogy Jamboree, and for the National Genealogical Society conference, among other organizations.
