Speaking
Complicated topics, explained in a way that makes sense.
I give talks for genealogy societies, libraries, conferences, and other groups about DNA, family history, investigative genetic genealogy, and the tools and research methods that go into the work.
A few examples
These aren’t fixed talks, just a few examples of the kinds of presentations I can build for a group.
- Genetic genealogyA beginner-friendly introduction to DNA results, matches, relationships, and where to start
- Family history researchTips, tricks, and research strategies that can make genealogy research easier and more effective
- Investigative genetic genealogyHow IGG helps solve cases, identify unknown people, and give people back their names
- Tools & methodsClustering, chromosome mapping, shared matches, TreeScope, browser extensions, and other tools I use in my research
Have something else in mind?If there’s a topic your group is interested in, send it my way. I’m happy to talk through ideas and see what would be a good fit.
How it usually works
- Virtual or in person
- Anywhere from a short library talk to a full conference session
- Q&A can be built into the session
- Handouts included when appropriate
Built for your groupEvery audience is a little different, so I don’t give the exact same version of a talk every time. Tell me who will be there and what they already know, and I’ll adjust the presentation from there.
