We’re starting our new season with a dive into the world of genetic genealogy, which has revolutionized genealogy research in the last two decades.

Our speaker is Richard Hill, who has become a well-known author, speaker, and activist in this field. His pioneering work of finding his biological parents through DNA testing created a foundation for other adoptees wishing to do the same.

Richard will cover the basics of genetic genealogy, the three major test types, and the offerings of five leading companies. You’ll learn the key factors that impact your results. Richard will also discuss each company's strengths, limitations, and favorite features, as well as some third-party tools you can use to extract even more information from DNA test results.
