2018 NCGS Fall Conference

Posted on by Krista

Saturday, October 27 @ 8:25 am – 4:15 pm

Keynote by Dr. Michael D. Lacopo

”Finding Dead Ancestors is Easy: Finding the Living can be a Challenge!”

In addition to the keynote, the Fall Conference on 27 October 2018 will offer four additional sessions, with two lectures to choose from each session. The conference will focus on how to find your most elusive ancestors using both traditional genealogy and DNA research. Advance your understanding of how to find ancestors who were poor and those who lived in colonial North Carolina. Learn about researching records that were kept for slave insurance and expand your research boundaries to cross borders. Learn how to use autosomal DNA to find missing ancestors and how to make Y-DNA work for you. Expand your understanding of DNA triangulation and learn about DNA Painter, a fun and exciting new online tool.
