I love that the North of Ireland Family History Society is hosting a Zoom-based DNA-focused Summer School from September 2nd through September 6th. This year’s theme is “Case Studies.” There is one afternoon and one evening session each day, and they will be recorded so attendees can view them anytime worldwide for 28 days.
Martin McDowell does a fantastic job as their Education Director. He and several other presenters will be speaking.
Note that Katy Rowe from FamilyTreeDNA is giving a sneak peek at the upcoming MitoTree and MitoDiscover – so don’t miss that!
I’ll present some exciting Mitochondrial DNA case studies and discuss genealogical success stories using mitochondrial DNA.
Miguel Vilar, former Lead Scientist for the Genographic Project, will educate us about Ancient DNA. Both Y-DNA Discover and soon-to-be MitoDiscover both feature ancient DNA haplogroup matches.
I can’t wait to attend Martin’s DNA Proof Standards class. How much proof is enough, and what kind of proof? When do we need more, and how do we find it?
This is a wonderful lineup!
You can sign up for all classes for about $100 US, or for individual classes, here. Take a look, and I hope to see you there! It’s going to be great fun!!

Roberta why did all the testing companies go the route of MyHeritagd with this surcharge of $29?
They haven’t. Two companies, aside from GEDmatch, accept uploads and the unlock at both is becasue they are providing you a service for essentially free. MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA both provide matches for free, but for advanced features there’s an unlock. MH charges $29 and FTDNA charges $19. You don’t have to pay either. Neither of the other two major companies accept uploads, so their increases are not related to that. 23andMe is trying to save their financial life, and Ancestry had restructured their products and new features. You might ask them why they changed their structure.
