"DNA Refresher and Genetic Genealogy Update"
SJGS
is pleased to announce our speaker for tonight’s meeting: Katherine Borges.
Returning to Stockton after her well-received presentation here three years ago,
Katherine will be bringing updates on developments in the use of DNA testing for
genealogy, as well as reviewing the basic concepts behind DNA testing for those
interested in exploring this tool for use in your own family
history.
Katherine
Borges is co-founder and current director of the International Society of
Genetic Genealogy, the first society organized to promote the use of DNA testing
in genealogy. Established in 2005, the non-profit ISOGG is currently eight
thousand members strong and represents a membership spread across the world in
more than seventy countries. With a mission to promote and educate members and
the general public about the use of DNA testing for genealogical purposes, ISOGG
has been active in presentations across the continents. Katherine, herself, has
spoken not only at many events in the United States, but also in Canada, the
U.K., and Ireland.
Join
us this evening in the Community Room of the Margaret Troke Library as we welcome Katherine Borges back to Stockton.
