Shannon Combs-Bennett T2 Family History
Do you have DNA results and wonder what to do with them - or perhaps wonder whether it is worth the expense to take the DNA tests and if so which one? This seminar, in four parts, will provide a general introduction to DNA Genealogy and include sections on understanding mtDNA, Y-DNA, and Autosomal DNA results. Whether you are a novice or experienced, this is an opportunity to enhance your understanding of DNA genealogy and new developments in the field. There will be two breaks (morning and afternoon) and a lunch break of 1-1/2 hours on your own in historic Leesburg.
Shannon Combs-Bennett, owner of T2 Family History, writes and lectures on a variety of topics from genetics to methodology. Based in Northern Virginia, Shannon is a frequent contributor to Family Tree Magazine; Creative Director for The In-Depth Genealogist Website Magazine, and Education Chair for NextGen Genealogy Network.
