Angie Bush, MS at the 2024 MGC Fall Family History Event - Saturday, November 16, 2024 Angie Bush, MS will be our speaker. Angie is a Genetic Genealogist Researcher with Ancestry ProGenealogists in Salt Lake City. Angie has been interested in her genealogy since she was very young. After college, she spent several years working in biotech while continuing to pursue her genealogy hobby. With the growing popularity and introduction of autosomal DNA testing in 2012, she decided to combine her two loves into one career. Although she spends a lot of time working on recent unknown parentage cases (adoptions, unknown fathers), her favorite type of research to do involves solving decades old “brick-walls” using a combination traditional records and genetic evidence. Join Angie and MGC for these exciting topics: Is DNA the Tool For You? DNA has helped many genealogists make breakthroughs in their research that they never thought possible. But these breakthroughs are only possible because the research question was one that DNA could help to answer. Learn about the types of questions DNA can help you answer, and the types of questions DNA can't help with. The Best DNA Tools There are several tools provided by the testing companies and a plethora of third-party tools developed by others to help you make sense of your results. Learn which tools are most valuable and how to use them to successfully make sense of your DNA results. Practical Applications and Case Studies In the final session of the day, we will share case studies and real-life examples of how DNA test results were integrated into complex family history questions. We will talk about how DNA validates information in historical records and how to correlate genetic and historical evidence to solve challenging mysteries. This one-day event is one you will want to attend! More information, including registration, will be available this fall. To see the latest MGC events, please go to the mimgc.org Event Calendar.
