Wow! What a great start to SCGS Jamboree. This is the second year for a DNA day. I attended last year but didn’t understand
very much. Since then I did my DNA
tests, both mitochondrial and autosomal.
I had my results. I just didn’t
know what to do with them. Well, now at
least I know where to start.
The session I watched with CeCe
Moore explained DNA mapping to help discover your ancestors. Now I know why I want to have my mother and
sister tested.
Diahan Southard gave case studies
for Y-DNA, mtDNA and atDNA.; those were very interesting, although I need to
find some more people connected to me before I can use some of the techniques.
Lunch was fun. A friend from Mesa who flew in for the DNA
day was at the table. And, then across
from me was a woman I was sure I knew.
But I just assumed it was from Jamboree sometime in the past. Well, Ellen was from Maryland, and we had met
originally at GRIP. And we’re going to
be in the same DNA class next month. What
fun!!
With the keynote session beginning
at 8 am and the last speaker session ending at 6 p.m. with a one-hour open
discussion period for an hour after that, it was a long, but stimulating day.
Thank you Southern California
Genealogical Society, SCGS, and the International Society of Genetic Genealogy,
ISOGG, for cohosting this event and providing such a wonderful educational
opportunity.
Sounds wonderful! I hope to be able to go next year.
