Today's topic: How to include DNA data in family histories - from cMs to admixture (ethnicity) - Using DNA to fill gaps in family histories: http://www.pwaldron.info/IFHS/ (background) - How to Prepare DNA Research Reports for Sharing: https://familylocket.com/how-to-prepare-dna-research-reports-for-sharing/ (there are a number of good posts and podcasts on FamilyLocket.com about this). Especially good for citations and privatizing examples: Privatizing DNA Research Reports for Publication: https://familylocket.com/privatizing-dna-research-reports-for-publication/. - Playlist on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4KyIQc4eVw&list=PLbWohRttmiAiRh9RJsRuUC7Qcf9wA3tLl Valorie she/her: Welcome everyone! Happy to see you today for our first meeting of 2023! We'd love to have you join SKCGS: https://skcgs.org/support-skcgs/Membership If you're new, tell us where you are calling from. Today's blog: https://skcgs.blogspot.com/2023/01/how-fleeting-life-can-be.html Betty Swan: Valorie's is breaking up [some had internet problems]. Robert Marvin: Hello from Southern California where is currently 55 degrees and rainy - ugh. VZ: it was rainy and windy here. Tina Lawson: Welcome everyone! Happy to see you today for our first meeting of 2023! We'd love to have you join SKCGS: https://www.skcgs.org/support-skcgs/membership SKCGS Blog: https://www.skcgs.org/resources/blog While discussing different ways to privatize, we saw a demo of screenshotting and using the blur function. Nadine Guilbault: How much does it cost for Awesome screenshots? [Answer: free. Most of them are, whether browser add-ons or standalone applications such as Flameshot https://flameshot.org/]. Nadine Guilbault: Thank you. Maureen Trotter: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/. Ed Vandehey: For the people that you had privatized, do you think it would reveal too much by putting "private (male)" or "private (female)"? Janis Littlefield: what and when is the next study group? [Next Study Group (Members Only) will be Monday evenings 6 pm Pacific. We have not yet decided on a start date in February or March. We'll study Research Like A Pro With DNA]. Ed Vandehey: Grandson 1 of son 2 for ancestor Bill Smith, could you use "Bill Smith M2 M1"? Maureen Trotter: Ed, whether that would work would depend on how complex your argument is. If there are lots of people and a complex situation, readers will get lost very quickly. If the sex of the match is important to a part of your proof argument, perhaps you could mention it then. Ed Vandehey: Good point, Maureen. Thank you. Maureen Trotter: Sometimes colour coding cells of a descendancy chart pink or blue might work. Lorraine Hladik: That works in a chart and maybe in excel. Anna Lowe: Have you looked at IL land domain with IL state archives. VZ: I have not, but that is now on my list of more research I need to do on my William McBee, and my McBee branch. Sylvia Nelson: Diahan Southard, in her Legacy webinar, used the color dots she created in her spreadsheet. It was a very good webinar and free for a few more days, but always available with a Legacy membership.

Focus is also given to provide an actual case study of doing this kind of research. Michael L. Strauss, AG has been employed as a forensic investigator for thirty years, most recently he works as a research manager for Ancestry ProGenealogists. Michael is a native of Pennsylvania and a veteran of the United States Coast Guard. He is a court qualified expert witness in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Michael is a national genealogical lecturer and instructor and is a faculty member at Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG), Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP), and the Institute of Genealogical and Historical Research (IGHR) where he coordinates the military history and research courses.
