This is an in person event at the SAG Family History Research Centre & Library. 

Online sessions of this presentation will be available on other dates in 2025.

This presentation was formerly known as 'Beginners' Introduction to DNA'.

Receiving your DNA test results is an exciting time but it can quickly become confusing. This session will look at the different types of tests available, which one is right for you and which companies do these tests. We will look at some basics to help you understand and interpret your matches and there will be plenty of time for questions so you can start finding those new cousins!

Skill level: Beginners

Presenter: Melissa Hulbert 

Following the presentation, we have some additional sessions in the Library for our keen Beginners!

• Book in for a Library Tour

At 12pm on the day, our Library staff will give a tour of the Library, the SAG collection and the possibilities it can provide for your family history research.
