What is a DNA Centimorgan and Why Should I Care?

Description

This presentation explains the basic uses of DNA testing results from the perspective of the non-biology genealogist. It cuts through the jargon associated with genealogical DNA testing to the core use of the testing results. Come and learn how the new DNA analysis tools can be used by someone who can't speak the language of DNA and just wants to know how to use the results to validate their own traditional research methodology.
