Using GEDmatch to Further Your Research with John Marshall

Last week we welcomed John Marshall to our webinar series, as an addition to our monthly scheduled session. John’s presentation on GEDmatch will address four distinct areas:

• (1) Setting up and configuring your GEDmatch account for use,
• (2) a review on the purpose/use of the many free tools,
• (3) an overview of the Tier 1 (for pay) tools, and
• (4) a practical example on the use of GEDmatch to further your research discoveries.

GEDmatch overview, broken down to the lowest levels. It is anticipated that this will help if you have tried GEDmatch but found it complex or intimidating.

About the speaker

John’s interest in DNA began many years ago, when he started wondering if his father was an only child (like he was). Digging out some old records from his “aunt”, John quickly jumped on the DNA bandwagon with an Ancestry autosomal DNA test, quickly followed by a Family Tree YDNA test. Mostly self-taught, John enjoys sharing information to enable others to jump start their genealogy research.
