Researching family trees
with the Clonmany Genealogy & Heritage Group. |
Mr Marcas Ó Murchú wll
give an illustrated talk at 8pm on the rapidly
developing field of genetic genealogy. This engaging
presentation will inform attendees about the Gedmatch
website and demonstrate, in two simple steps, how DNA
results can be used to identify both paternal and
maternal connections.
Marcas will explain how to determine how many
generations back a shared ancestor lived and show which
DNA segments were inherited from common ancestors -
providing clear, practical answers to questions often
raised by avid DNA and family tree researchers, and by
those who received DNA tests as Christmas or Birthday
presents.
Marcas is a former teacher, a musician well known
throughout Inishowen, and a researcher with many years’
experience in genetic genealogy. He brings expertise and
enthusiasm to this fascinating subject, and it promises
to be an informative and enjoyable evening for anyone
with an interest in family history, heritage, or DNA
research.
The Clonmany Genealogy & Heritage Group looks forward to
welcoming the community to what is sure to be a
memorable and insightful event.
