So Much Fun! - Sat, 25 Jan 2020

The Family History Fanatics’ @FHFanatics online Winter DNA eConference has just finished and it was so much fun. Andy and Devon sure know how to put un a good show.

This was the first time I’ve presented at an online conference.  I was able to do this comfortably from my office at home and my family was really good and went out of their way not to bother me for 6 hours.

Devon Noel Lee, Jonny Perl and Paul Woodbury also presented and it was so great getting to interact with them. It was the next best thing to being at a physical conference, without the need to spend time in airports and hotels.

In addition to all the great genetic genealogy methodologies presented, I also learned that I know nothing about what genes are on what chromosomes, and that audiences love to suggest random numbers.

We ended with a question/answer period that turned into an entertaining roundtable discussion.

Now to get back to work and figure out how Jonny and I are connected through the 16 cM segment on chromosome 7 that we share.
