Using DNA for Family History Course - Session 2

Session 2: Shared Matches: Our Connection to Cousins

Convenor: Maureen Trotter will lead sessions providing ample time for questions and discussion.

If you have tested your DNA with Ancestry and wish to learn some basic techniques for effectively working with your match lists to confirm your family tree and solve its mysteries, then this is the course for you. 
This session is one of a progression of classes that should be completed consecutively but can be taken as one-off events for those who need a refresher on that topic.

Our DNA match lists connect us to thousands of people who share DNA with us. Some of these people are known, close family members, but most are distant cousins. In this session, we will explore how shared DNA, relationship estimate tools and family trees can help us work out how we are related to many of these cousins. We will also consider what to do if our DNA results reveal unexpected relationships.
