SUMMARY:Van Zandt Genealogical Society Spring Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Instead of our usual beginner-focused event\, this year’s workshop will be about learning to get the most out of DNA data by using GEDmatch. DNA is becoming the most exciting tool ever for genealogy discoveries\, and using GEDmatch helps you compare your DNA data to more sources. Also\, it’s easy!  More information will be provided on this website in the coming days. The speaker will be Patti Huff Smith\, a celebrated genealogist and family history lecturer.  \n\n\n\nAnd we are not ignoring the need for a yearly beginner genealogy event: The July 27 monthly meeting will feature our own Lee Dickson\, genealogist and librarian VZ Genealogy Library. He will give a much-anticipated program on getting started in family research.   \n\n\n\n GET PREPARED\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatti Huff Smith is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists\, National Genealogical Society\, Texas State Genealogical Society\, and counties in Texas where her roots run deep: Bosque\, Hill\, Johnson\, Navarro\, and Central Texas Genealogical Society in Waco\, Texas. Patti uses traditional genealogy research skills and the latest tools in genetic genealogy technology. She manages 62 DNA kits for her immediate and extended family. Using DNA\, she has solved some of her own family’s mysteries. She has also located biological families for clients using their DNA combined with research and DNA matching tools from Ancestry.com and GEDmatch.com.

SUMMARY:Cedar Hill Genealogy Society Monthly Program
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Emily Coffman Richardson \n\n\n\nTopic: Using Documentation – Identifying Documentation as found in Genealogical Records with an Eye on Proof and Citations \n\n\n\nThis program is for the beginner and the seasoned genealogist alike. It will help us better understand the sources we have found\, with a grasp of information and evidence. \n\n\n\nData without documentation are just stories\, not facts. Documentation shows the quality of sources used for our research and making our conclusions. Proper documentation avoids repetitive research and plagiarism. This will help us understand what needs to be documented and why documentation is a critical skill for all genealogists. \n\n\n\nDownload Handout \n\n\n\nOur Meeting begins at 7:00pm but please join us on Zoom at 6:30 PM for socializing. Admission is free and guests are always welcome. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Meeting

SUMMARY:Jewish Special Interest Group

Her slides can always be found at https://slides.com/kittycooper. She has helped many people solve their unknown parentage questions with DNA testing. Thanks to having a Jewish grandfather\, she has also become quite expert at dealing with endogamy in DNA results. She started blog.kittycooper.com in 2012 to keep track of her own family’s genetic tests as well as her genealogical research. Then she added some tools she wrote for graphing DNA relationships and converting ahnentafel lists to GEDCOMs. Her compact chromosome browser tool is now part of GEDmatch. Her blog is very popular\, getting several thousand unique visitors a day. \n\n\n\nKitty started programming computers in 1966 while still in high school and is retired from her own small web development business. She has a cum laude degree from Harvard University and is also a World Champion Bridge player.
