The celebrations are over, the presents unwrapped, and now you, or a family member, are sitting there with a DNA test kit in hand and wondering what to do about it.
Perhaps you’ve heard that different tests produce different information, so you’re wondering what the test in your hands will tell you.
Perhaps reading the paperwork has you vaguely recalling advice about how to register and manage accounts of family members to gain the most information, but the specific advice has escaped your memory.
Are you wondering what else you need to do? Or if this test means you have to take out a subscription to a database? Are you asking ‘How does the test work?’, ‘How do I interpret the results?’ or ‘What happens to my results long term?’ Do you have concerns about privacy and security issues?
Are all your questions giving you pause about proceeding?
The GSV can help answer your questions about DNA testing, and clarify and consolidate your understanding of what to expect and what to do next.
If you’d like our assistance, register for our introductory DNA session, “I was given a DNA kit for Christmas. Now what?” The session is open to anyone interested – members or non-members – as an online presentation with a Q&A.
Date: January 22nd, 10:30am - 12pm
Location: Zoom (the link will be included in the email acknowledging your registration)
Cost: Free for GSV members, $10 for non-members
The recording of the session will be made available to those who cannot attend on the day.
Given the complexity of DNA testing and the variations between tests and processes used by different companies, our presentation will use Ancestry.com examples. Much of the general information will be relevant to other DNA Kit providers.
