Curious about what your DNA can really tell you about your family history? This beginner-friendly presentation introduces the essential concepts behind genealogical DNA testing in a clear and approachable way. We’ll break down what a cM is and why it matters, explore how DNA is passed down through generations, and show how shared DNA can connect you to relatives both known and unknown.
By the end, you’ll understand how to interpret DNA matches, recognize patterns of inheritance, and begin using genetic clues alongside traditional research to uncover family connections and solve genealogical mysteries. Whether you're brand new to DNA testing or looking to make sense of your results, this session will give you the foundation you need to start discovering your story. This is the first meeting of our new DNA series with Sarah Hawkins.
