GFO DNA INTEREST GROUP

Just a reminder to all of you....
I had planned on showing you the new 2.0 version of the personal webpages on Family Tree DNA, but just a couple days ago, they went live for every tester to see. Regardless, we'll view them and practice using some of the features.

We'll also update you on the "breaking news" with 23andMe.

See you there
Emily

Reminder from: NW-ISOGG Yahoo! Group

Title: GFO DNA Interest Group Meeting

Date: Tuesday January 10, 2012 Time: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Location: Genealogical Forum of Oregon Library
Street: 2505 SE 11th Suite B-18 (Basement Suite)
City State Zip: Portland OR 97202
Phone: 503-963-1932
Notes: January's meeting will be jam-packed! Please be on time as the full two hours will be needed.

The following topics are to be covered:
1. A short review of the events at the Family Tree DNA International Conference.
2. Review of a new DNA book.
3. Preview of myFTDNA 2.0 webpages
4. Time to explore the new personal webpages of Family Tree DNA using a handout to guide you.
5. Optional: Explore 23andMe website. (Bring your password)

Using the society's computers or your own laptop, Emily, Tim Jansen and David Reynolds will assist members with use of the Family Tree DNA and the 23andMe personal webpages. These pages will include test results for the Y-DNA, mtDNA and the Family Finder Test for FTDNA and the Ancestry test for 23andMe.

If you have tested with FTDNA, bring your kit number and code to explore your own pages. If you have not, you can view kit information that will be provided.

Due to the size of the room and the number of computers, please bring your own laptop if you have one. You may also share computers or watch someone else.

This will also be of interest if you plan on testing later with either company.

Donations to cover the cost of the handout are accepted.

Bring a friend!
