HCGS Meeting April 14, 2018

Honolulu County Genealogical Society

When: April 14,  2018  9am to noon What: HCGS monthly meeting Aloha!  I think the title of this months meeting should be "DNA, QUICK AND DIRTY" - at least I think that is what Bev calls it!  First, Bev will be giving us a "Quick" but very informative presentation on basic DNA for genealogists.  Second, she and Mickey will show us how to add our DNA to gedmatch and what the benefits of doing this would be.  If you bring your computers, you could do this with their help at our meeting.  Meanwhile, here is a link to gedmatch you can check out: http://genealogical-musings.blogspot.com/2017/04/finally-gedmatch-admixture-guide.html

Ann Sloat, President


Here is information from today's meeting:
 From Bev:   GENEALOGY COURSES ...  The "Future Learn" Genealogy course is now available. It is free to all users. If they want to upgrade to be able to have permanent access to course content it costs money, otherwise it’s free.  Here is the link to copy and paste for URL.   
          www.futurelearn.com/courses/genealogy

ALSO the question of how to download your RAW DNA results  so that you can then upload it to GEDMATCH.com.   This information is also on our HCGS Facebook Group.
