This 7 pm Zoom session is for JGSI members only. This special online event will feature JGSI DNA maven Alvin Holtzman.

This is a time for an open discussion about genetic genealogy (DNA). Bring your genetic genealogy questions and brick walls, and help answer questions of others. JGSI members are invited to share their DNA discoveries and quandaries related to using genetic tests for researching family history and discovering previously unknown cousins.
