GENEALOGY DROP-IN UPCOMING TOPICS
Wednesday, May 6, 2026 – Googling for Grandma
Ashley Rother will be presenting on the topic of “Googling For Grandma” that sounds like an intriguing topic and will include:
- ‘Googling for Grandma’ using Google operators.
- ‘Where to discover Maiden Names’.
- ‘Understanding Cousin Relationships’ be it with or without DNA. This presentation will provide an understanding of human DNA, terminology such as genome, genes, segments, centimorgans and the application by companies like MyHeritage and Ancestry, and understanding ‘clustering of cousin matches’ by MyHeritage and their use of gene browsing.
Wednesday, June 3, 2026 – What To Do with My Family History?
Jean-Yves Vanier-Verbeek will speak on the topic of “What To Do with My Family History?”. He will provide insight into the various options that we have to perpetuate the records and history of our family for future generations.
