SUMMARY:DNA Interest Group - Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt: Using DNA to Affirm Documentary Evidence
LOCATION:
DESCRIPTION:DNA Interest Group - Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt: Using DNA to Affirm Documentary Evidence\n\n01/13/26 07:00 PM EST\n - 01/13/26 08:30 PM EST\Description:\nIf you have proven a theory using DNA evidence, your next step is to write a proof argument. DNA evidence differs from documentary evidence, and incorporating DNA into your genealogy requires planning, analyzing, drawing conclusions, reporting, and often working with living individuals. Bring your favorite note-taking tools, and together, we’ll work through composing proof statements, summaries, and arguments, weaving together documentary evidence and DNA to tear down brick walls and resolve long-argued questions. We’ll also discuss ways to break down our findings and theories so they can be presented to people compassionately and comprehensively.\n\nPresenter Bio & Information\n\nKate Penney Howard is a genetic genealogist who specializes in brick wall work, HighRoH, and endogamy. She has presented at Rootstech, the East Coast Genetic Genealogy Conference, the International Congress on Medieval Studies, AND NAAP/RTK’s Untangling Our Roots.\n
