Help! I got my DNA Results and I’m Confused! (Part 2)

Presenter: Gil Bardige

This intermediate to advanced level presentation is primarily for people with Jewish ancestry and have run into new brick walls or just want to be able to expand their search parameters productively. Gil will provide you with actionable processes that you can really use in your genealogy research including new criteria for each testing company, Pileup Regions, Triangulation, and 'Average Segment Theory' for those of you who have tested at Ancestry.                                                                                 

Bio: Gil Bardige’s family arrived in Chicago in the early 20^th century where he was born and raised.   At the instruction of his mother, Gil began his genealogy adventure in 1979 with 54 people in his tree.  Today his family tree, including Mishpocha, is over 2300 people tracing 4 branches back to his 5^th great grandfathers born about 1740. 

For over 15 years Gil has expanded his knowledge base to Genetic Genealogy, and currently manages three y-DNA projects at Family Tree DNA as a Volunteer Administrator.  He has spoken at international conferences including  IAJGS. co-hosts live Genetic Genealogy Q&A sessions at JGS Illinois and JGS Toronto and many other genealogical activities and presentations.
