2014 International Genetic Genealogy Conference

Whew, one of the most daunting outcomes of getting tested is all of the genetic cousins that show up. And if you're new to genealogy, knowing how to use genetic genealogy is even less obvious.

I have 990 cousins in 23andMe, 45 pages of 50 cousins each at AncestryDNA, but lots fewer at FTDNA.

I've accepted sharing requests, but I have to say I haven't put much effort into understanding this area since I've been focusing on going as far back as possible with the paper trail.

However, this conference looks interesting and should be a great place to ramp up on genetic genealogy.
