Topic:

Using DNA for Genealogy — Demystified

Speaker:

Dave Howard

Dave Howard presents simple, clear answers to all your questions about DNA: where you should send a smple for testing, how much money you should expect to pay, how to understand your results, how to match your results with major databases, how to deal with your matches. Confusing scientific jargon will be demystified and explained in simple terms.

Dave Howard is not a scientist. He is a retired tax lawyer/CPA who used to develop tax strategies for large multinational corporations and then had to explain those strategies in simple terms to corporate officers. He holds B.S., MPA, and JD degrees. He has been a family genealogist for more than 30 years, and has been the Family Tree DNA Group Administrator for the Jewish_Q group and the Horowitz Surname project for more than three years. Dave is on the Board of the SFBAJGS.

Winter Break: No meetings are planned for December.
