Hey everybody, have you heard about our different DNA Projects?
Go to the SGS Website, find the Genealogy Tab, then find the Society Projects tab and you will find information about each of our DNA Projects. Since most people have taken an autosamal DNA test we started a new Gedmatch Group Project. Gedmatch is now allowing groups to be put together which finds descendants in the same branch. If you have not hear about Gedmatch, it is a program where you can put your FamilyTreeDNA Kit # into their system and it tells you how far apart the generations are and gives you an idea where to research. This is a really great way to find someone you have a match with to help get past the brick walls we have. Gedmatch is nowing allowing group matches and we have started one. We need everyone wanting to participate to please go to the SGS website and send your Kit # to Barbara Lewis, our DNA specialist. If you sent it to Barbara in the last month, please resend it. While Mark, our Assitant Webmaster, was on vacation the email part of our website went on vacation too and stopped forwarding emails, therefore, if you sent your Kit # to Barbara during March, we would appreciate it if you would please send it again. 🥰
