Outstanding webinar and I LOVE the spreadsheet! This was so helpful!
Will the chat from this webinar be posted soon? Dr. Gleeson was going to post some links in it, and there was no way to download the chat during the webinar. \n\nI enjoyed this webinar, and hope to use the tips he gave to help break some Irish brick walls for me!
K. I posted the link to his worksheet above in the description. And this is the link to Martin McDowell's talk that he mentioned http://44.204.202.82/webinar/why-testing-at-ancestry-is-not-enough/
Today's webinar was very interesting. I find that I have much to learn about DNA clustering. I got a little lost at times because I am not up to the level of understanding necessary to follow all of this. I'm sure I'll improve if I just keep working on it.
This is a really informative webinar. A must for those with Irish ancestry but applicable for anyone looking for an unknown parent. I laughed aloud at the reference to John Kelly from Dublin, who ran away to join the circus, because yes you guessed it! My thickest brick wall is my great-great grandfather, John Kelley, that DNA says may not be a Kelley! Maurice also gave great advice for tracking those ancestors pre civil registration. I will be watching this one many times.
Fascinating and detailed. I only wish I could have gotten in my question at the end.
Very well organized and presented well!!
This is one of the best webinars I have watched. He asked many questions that others have left me hanging. He gave excellent steps for anyone who is looking for unknown parents in any country.
