875. New DNA Workshop Saturday At Fishers Library

Hello, Just a quick reminder our next event will be this Saturday.   Sat Aug 18th 10-11:30a Fishers branch Library. "Intro to DNA Painter." This class is suited for folks whose DNA results are at GEDmatch or 23andMe, FamilyTreeDNA, MyHeritage, or LivingDNA. Come and learn how to use a new DNA tool. "DNA Painter is an easy-to-use tool that helps genealogists make sense of DNA testing. By mapping segments of DNA to chromosomes, we can begin to see which ancestors gave us which pieces of DNA, and thus how new matches are related.  As a result, DNA Painter has quickly become an essential tool for genealogists!" -- Blaine Bettinger Andrea Ackermann, our speaker, will help show us how to effectively use this site. Feel free to bring your laptop or tablet!    Hope you are having a wonderful summer!  Check out our Facebook page for more information about our activities. -The Central Indiana DNA Interest Group team
