Explore the tools and methodologies used in genetic genealogy to estimate and analyze relationships between individuals based on DNA data.
Join Blaine Bettinger, Ph.D., J.D., a professional genealogist specializing in DNA evidence and the use of artificial intelligence for genealogical research. Author of the long-running blog The Genetic Genealogist, Blaine will discuss the science behind how relationship estimators analyze shared DNA segments to predict familial connections. Attendees will learn to interpret DNA match results, utilize relationship prediction tools effectively, and address common challenges, such as outliers. By integrating these advanced DNA analysis techniques, genealogists can enhance their research, solve complex family mysteries, and validate traditional genealogical findings.
