Tackling Surprises in Your DNA Results

Many of us have had a surprise or two in our DNA results. It's important not to panic and adopt a methodology for investigating your surprise results. Using real-life scenarios, this presentation will provide appropriate strategies to tackle common surprises and apparent inconsistencies found in autosomal DNA results. Topics will include ethnicity estimates, navigating unrecognizable matches, and discussing how phenomena like endogamy and pedigree collapse realistically affect your DNA results.

Attendees would benefit from having taken an autosomal DNA test.
