DNA Special Interest Group

November 20, 2025 @ 6:00 pm 7:30 pm

Virtual Event Only

Speaker: Jonny Perl

Topic: What are the Odds Video

When working with DNA for family history research, there are many scenarios where a “mystery match” will emerge. This person will share DNA with several people within a known tree, while their genealogical connection to the tree is not known. They could be someone with unknown or mistaken parentage, or simply an uncommunicative match. This webinar will show how “What are the Odds?” (WATO) can guide you towards answers to puzzles like these.

The DNA Special Interest Group explores the use of DNA as a genealogical tool. The goal is to help individuals understand and incorporate current DNA testing strategies and standards into their personal genealogy. Meeting are open to all.

Those interested in the DNA SIG may sign up for email meeting notification:

  • By requesting to be added to the SIG Mailing List at DNA@dallasgenealogy.org 
  • By joining the “DGS DNA Interest Group” Project  through their personal page on Family Tree DNA (the person must have tested and be in the Family Tree DNA database)
