Do you have thousands upon thousands of DNA matches that make no sense? DNA matches that don't show up for your parents or matches that seem to all match each other? Do you just feel overwhelmed and frustrated with your DNA results? Don't give up! In this presentation, Dr. Adina Newman will provide strategies to navigate and combat the effects of endogamy at the major commercial DNA testing companies. \Details:\nDr. Adina Newman, EdD, the creator of My Family Genie, is a professional genealogist and educator. Her specialties include Jewish genealogy, genetic genealogy, social media, and New England, and she presents on these topics in a variety of venues, from major genealogy conferences to local genealogy societies. Her findings have received international media attention, such as mentions in The Daily Mail, Washington Post, AP News, TODAY, People, and The Times of Israel, and she has made appearances on several news outlets such as NPR and I24NEWS. She co-founded the Holocaust Reunion Project, a program to raise awareness about the potential of DNA testing within the Holocaust survivor community and provide survivors and their children with commercial DNA tests. She volunteers as a Team Lead for the DNA Doe Project, which uses investigative genetic genealogy to identify unidentified deceased persons and as a moderator for a popular Jewish genetic genealogy Facebook group. She was also a 2020 recipient of the AncestryProGenealogists scholarship.\Location:\nZoom\n\n,
