This Saturday, 5 October the Ottawa DNA SIG meeting will feature a presentation “DNA Testing: What do the matches mean? by Leanne Cooper

DNA tests are becoming more and more popular. While the ads focus on discovering your ethnic origins, when you receive your DNA results, you also get a list of matches.  Who are these people, and how can you determine how you are related? This presentation will help you understand DNA matches and will introduce some basic tools and techniques for working with them. Whether you are an adoptee with no knowledge of your biological family or an experienced genealogist with an extensive family tree, DNA matches can provide valuable clues, if you know how to use them.

The meeting is in Room 115 at the City of Ottawa Archives, 100 Tallwood Drive, Ottawa, Ontario
