Our DNA Research Groups meet four times a year - that's once every quarter.

We have three DNA Research Groups – Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. This quick guide helps you determine which group is right for you.

Before attending one of our groups for the first time, we recommend that you watch the DNA Research, Key Concepts webinar (available in the Shop).

Those who are serious about interrogating their results further are welcome to attend our Intermediate Group or Advanced Group meetings. Pre-knowledge of basic DNA concepts is presumed for these groups, which are collaborative working groups:

• We expect members to contribute their own issues to help form the agenda for each meeting.
• We work together to analyse and (hopefully) solve genealogical questions through the use of DNA research.
• The intermediate group meets in the mornings. These session focus on the application of a range of DNA tools in practice, so participants need to understand basic DNA concepts.
• The advanced group meets in the afternoon. It is a discussion group and participants are generally required to undertake preparation work.
