RootsMagic Users will meet to discuss anything you might be ha having trouble with when using the software. This could be as simple as adding new people to your database or adding two sets of parents to a child (bio & adopted for example). Other topics will be decided closer to the meeting time.

Sharpening your genealogy skills is the process of moving beyond simple name-gathering to become a more methodical and accurate family historian.

 It involves transitioning from "climbing the tree" to verifying the roots through advanced research techniques and critical analysis.

We will still be continuing our work with DNApainter. For those who have not attended prior you will need to have your DNA on one of the following sites MyHeritage, FTDNA and GEDmatch.

If you only have your DNA on Ancestry, you will need to upload your DNA to one of the sites above. 

This class is hands-on and is for anyone interested in finding those unknown DNA matches.
