with Anne Johnston
Geographical data about your matches is often overlooked but it can be extremely useful when trying to connect your matches to your tree. This class will show you where to look for such information and how it can help you to uncover those connections. Book your place.
with Martin McDowell
Proving DNA matches conclusively requires the use of a chromosome browser. This talk will explain the basic concept of what this tool can do and how to use it simply and effectively. Book your place.
Case Studies – with Martin McDowell and Anne Johnston
These case studies will show you how effective strategies can lead to successful outcomes. Practical examples using autosomal, Y and X DNA will give you hints and tips that you can use in your own research. Book your place.

Y-DNA testing is now a commonly used tool to explore a patrilineal line. This action plan will provide a straightforward approach to interpreting your results and then applying that information to a male surname line. Book your place.
with Janine Cloud
Janine is from Family Tree DNA so who better to tell us about Big Y testing and the Discover tool? This presentation will be a fascinating insight into how it all works and what you can learn from FTDNA’s ever-improving presentation of Y-DNA results. Book your place.
with Jonny Perl
Jonny is the creator of DNA Painter, the go-to site for chromosome mapping, calculating relationships from shared cMs and much much more! He will bring us up to date on developments on the site and give us hints and tips on how to use some of the tools he provides. The last time Jonny spoke at our DNA Summer School, it was a sell-out so don’t miss out! Book your place.

There is a lot to learn about DNA and it can be easy to pick up incorrect information. This class will go over some common misconceptions about DNA – it is your opportunity to make sure you are not inadvertently on the wrong track. Book your place.
with Jim Bartlett
Jim is an expert on autosomal DNA, particularly “Segment-ology”. He has worked for many years on identifying how segments can be attributed to particular ancestors and why it matters. He is going to guide us through the concept of this and give practical examples for you to adapt to your own research. Book your place.
with Martin McDowell
Having an ongoing plan for your DNA research can be the key to solving specific problems and it can help you to confirm existing lineages. This class will show you when and how to use target testing to uncover better matches and achieve your aims. Book your place.
