DNA Interest Group
Genetic genealogy uses a combination of DNA testing and traditional genealogical research and records to infer relationships between individuals.
DNA testing is now easily accessible, affordable & accurate, and can reveal previously unknown connections in a family tree.
Our DNA Interest Group (DIG) is open to any members who have an interest in learning about or using DNA testing for genealogical or family history research. If you are not a member, join up now so you can come along!
There is no requirement for you to come from Queensland – most of us come from elsewhere.
We also assist members with unknown parentage (eg. adoptees, donor-conceived, foundlings, child migrants, etc) to use DNA testing to help identify biological relatives.
Our goal is to host a friendly, semi-informal forum for educating members in the use of DNA testing for genealogical purposes.
DNA meetings may include:
- presentations on genetic genealogy-related topics
- group discussions
- individual help with test planning and analysis of results
- members sharing their experiences and results
DNA event details
- DNA Interest Group meetings alternate with the Drop-In DNA Clinics on the 1st Saturday of each month (so the DIG is the first Saturday of every second month).
- $2 Members (Members only)
- Refer to the Calendar of Events for upcoming meeting dates
