Family History Academy - DNA Directions: Which Way to Go?

The beginner session is a 1-hour classroom-style lecture, while the intermediate and advanced sessions are 3-hour workshops with practical exercises intermixed with the presentation. Recordings will be available for two weeks after the last session, and a syllabus is included.

Family History Academy - Documenting DNA and Lineages: Content and Structure ^FREE

We all understand the importance of citations, but knowing how to craft them is not always easy. In these two modules, Tom Jones takes us through the process of citing our sources, whether for DNA or lineages. Each session follows a masterclass format. The first week of each paired module will consist of a lecture with examples and an exercise. The second week includes Tom's signature' live editing', and discussion session, reviewing attendee-produced material and applying the generalities learned in the previous week. Recordings will be available for two weeks after each session, and a syllabus is included.

Family History Academy - Using Gephi to Analyze & Visualize Family History and DNA Networks

Network exploration and visualization tools offer exciting possibilities for exploring ancestral connections and making sense of DNA matches. In this hands-on workshop with Kimberly Powell, we'll explore the basics of network analysis, including using network visualization software as a tool to help us explore relationships, connections, and clusters (networks, FAN clubs) in our family history and DNA data. Through short demos followed by implementation periods, we'll practice using the free, open-source Gephi software to create cluster networks from both documentary and DNA data. Sample data sets will be provided, so we have a common framework for exploration and discussion. The session will be recorded and available for two weeks so you can revisit and apply the same principles to your project and data.
