DNA & the Genealogical Proof Standard

Confused about how to use your DNA results to further your genealogy research? Join us this Saturday at 1 PM for Karen Stanbury's presentation: “Using DNA Test Results in the Genealogical Proof Standard.”

The presentation covers the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) and an exploration of DNA specifically within its framework. Learn about the types of research questions that use DNA test results as evidence and understand how DNA test results can be correlated with documentary evidence. We will also discuss published proof arguments incorporating DNA evidence.

This program is presented in partnership with the North Suburban Genealogical Society.
