There’s a conference focused solely on genetic genealogy, and you’re invited!! Now that’s talking my language!!!
The second annual East Coast Genetic Genealogy Conference (ECGGC) will take place on October 6-8, 2023, at the Maritime Conference Center in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, just outside Baltimore.
This year’s conference is a hybrid affair, with both in-person and virtual speaker sessions and vendor booths.
The in-person conference includes lunch and costs $225, while the virtual conference is $175.
As the name suggests, this conference caters to genetic genealogists. The lineup includes wonderful speakers who I’m sure you’ll recognize, here. I can hardly wait to attend some of these sessions. The great news is that you really don’t have to pick and choose from the more than 40 sessions, because you can view recorded sessions after the conference.
Please note that while my session on Sunday at 11, Wringing Every Drop Out of Mitochondrial DNA, is listed as In-Person, it is not. Due to a change in plans, it’s virtual.
Be sure to check out the DNA Academy on Saturday evening from 6 to 8:30 PM. This event was quite popular last year.
Is there a presentation or a few that you’re particularly looking forward to?
Recorded sessions will be available until December 31st, so even if you can’t join us that weekend, or you’re on the other side of the world and the timing just doesn’t work, you don’t have to miss out. Often, in-person sessions aren’t recorded and available later, but at ECGGC, both in-person and virtual sessions will be recorded so you can watch any session through year-end. Thanks to the fine folks on the ECGGC conference committee for providing this benefit.
You can purchase a ticket, here.
This is a wonderful opportunity, and I hope to see you there.

Ancestry Big News, WTH Dog DNA tests. OMG
I’m trying to ignore that. Seriously. Sigh. So much they could do for genealogists, but they don’t.
my feelings exactly.
Roberta,
Purchasing the virtual ECGGC conference will give me access to the recorded sessions?
Yes
Hello, Roberta! Imagine my surprise when my DNA results came back! My sister and I ALWAYS just knew we were very Irish as my grandfather had RED hair and very blue eyes! His surname was Phillips. I’m only 6%!! But 18% Scotish! I love visiting Ireland and still want to find my roots there, but no luck so far. My older sister also is only 6% Irish, but her Scotish is 57%!! Hopefully, we’ll have a breakthough soon. Good luck to all those hunting!
Don’t rely too much on ethnicity.
