Register for Down Under webinar: The Stories Behind the Segments by Blaine Bettinger, Ph.D., J.D.

Register-downunder
 
DNA evidence helps us break through brick walls and confirm decades of research, while introducing an entirely new generation of people to genealogy. It also allows us to create maps linking specific segments of DNA to our ancestors. But how many of us stop to consider the story behind that mapped segment of DNA on chromosome 13? Or the miles and years traveled by the piece of DNA on chromosome 22? Join me as I examine some of the amazing stories in my chromosome map!
 
Join us and Blaine Bettinger, Ph.D., J.D. for the live webinar Tuesday, October 1 at 10pm eastern U.S. (Wednesday, October 2, at 12pm Sydney time). Register today to reserve your virtual seat. Registration is free but space is limited to the first 1,000 people to join that day. When you join, if you receive a message that the webinar is full, you know we've reached the 1,000 limit, so we invite you to view the recording which should be published to the webinar archives within an hour or two of the event's conclusion.
