The Hive Events C

Led by Lynda Keenan, a seasoned expert with a background in Biology from EWU, this workshop caters to those fascinated by genetic DNA and interested in tracing their heritage through DNA matching.

Join EWGS for a workshop on genetic genealogy using DNApainter. This site allows us to analyze DNA matches within specific family lines identified through MyHeritage, 23andMe, FTDNA, and GEDmatch. If your DNA is only on Ancestry, you can upload it to GEDmatch for free, or to FTDNA or MyHeritage for a small fee.

Led by Lynda Keenan, a seasoned expert with a background in Biology from Eastern Washington University, this workshop caters to those fascinated by genetic DNA and interested in tracing their heritage through DNA matching. Lynda's extensive experience includes advanced certifications in genealogical methodology, American records, and DNA research. She actively teaches genealogy courses, collaborates with law enforcement on genealogy research, and leads monthly meetings for Genetic Detectives at The Hive.

Whether you're new to genetic genealogy or looking to deepen your understanding, don't miss this opportunity to explore your family history with Lynda's expert guidance.
