Investigative, or Forensic, Genetic Genealogy (I/FGG) is the relatively recent application of traditional genetic genealogy skills, tools, and resources with the objective to assist Law Enforcement agencies in identifying unidentified human remains or suspects of violent crimes, among other cases. With this introduction, we will learn how I/FGG started, how it works, how is it different from traditional Forensic DNA Typing, and other traditional genealogical and genetic investigations used in criminal justice, and what changes are in place to ensure that I/FGG can be done safely, ethically, legally, and without compromising the privacy and integrity of the genetic genealogical community.

Too little time
Alot of Information.
This lecture helped me better understand autosomal DNA.
So much information, so little time. This applies to all the webinars that I have attended, which have been all except ones in the wee hours of US Eastern Time. Every presentation has provided me with a new genealogy tidbit that I can apply to my research.
Very interesting! I didn't know about GED Match. I will consider submitting my DNA to the site.
Very interesting. This is my 3 or 4 webinar today. Loved every single one. Please do it again.
Lots of great informative information shared in this presentation
I would like to see case studies.
