The DNA SIG (Special Interest Group) is a forum for WHAGS members to meet and learn about DNA and its use in genealogical research. We will learn together and help each other solve any DNA-related mysteries.  Members of all levels of DNA knowledge are welcome to learn and help other members.

​​​

    In this SIG we will work our way through the book Genetic Genealogy in Practice by Blaine T. Bettinger and Debbie Parker Wayne. Meetings are normally held the 1st Thursday of the month at 10am via Zoom.

​​​

Next DNA SIG meeting:   Tuesday, October 6th, 10:00 am, via Zoom

          

Please visit the DNA SIG page in the Members Only area for more information and for copies of past and current handouts.

    The Y-DNA Workgroup is a separate forum for WHAGS members to meet and learn more specifically about Y-DNA, the DNA passed down only to sons from their fathers, but because it changes very little, it can identify paternal roots thousands of years in the past. 

    This will be an interactive participant-centric discussion group to help each other learn about what Y-DNA can do for our own research through real-life experiences.

Next Y-DNA Workgroup meeting:   Tuesday, September 15th, 7:00 pm, via Zoom
