“Digging into DNA” ~ Angie Bush
Angie Bush’s former career in molecular genetics,
coupled with a life-long interest in genealogy gives her an ideal background
for a genetic genealogist. Angie helped
others with their family history for over 20 years as a volunteer and now works
professionally as a genetic genealogist using her clinical genetics background
and genealogical research skills to solve complex problems of kinship and
identity. She is the course coordinator
for “Advanced DNA” at Salt Lake Institute for Genealogy, first taught in 2015

INTRODUCTIONS
|
9:15 – 10:15 LECTURE
|
“Y-DNA and mtDNA Testing”
-
Y-DNA and mtDNA tests have been available for genealogical use for
approximately 10 years. With the advent of autosomal DNA testing, their
popularity has waned. However, this does not mean that they are no longer
useful or that they are built on “old” technology. There will be a discussion
of exactly what these tests are and how to use them effectively for
genealogical research questions.
|
10:15- 10:40
|
BREAK
|
10:40 – 11:40 LECTURE TWO
|
“Understanding Autosomal DNA” - Autosomal
DNA testing is now the workhorse of genetic genealogy and it has opened many
new doors for genealogists in researching their families. We will discuss
what makes autosomal DNA so powerful, the companies that offer autosomal
testing, strategies for determining who to test and mention several of the
websites and 3rd party tools that are available to help you make the most of
your autosomal DNA results.

12:45 –
1:45 LECTURE THREE
|
“Using atDNA in
Genealogical and Adoption Research (case studies)”
- This lecture will show exactly how autosomal DNA test results were used to
provide evidence to answer a genealogical question. There will also be
examples showing how autosomal DNA testing is bringing the families of
adoptees together in ways not thought possible just 5 years ago - truly miraculous
for many of these individuals!
|
1:45
– 2:00 BREAK
|
|
2:00
- 3:00 LECTURE FOUR
|
“DNA and
the Genetic Proof Standard” - The Genealogical Proof Standard
(GPS) is an interwoven 5-step process that helps genealogists to know if
their research and conclusions will stand the test of time. This lecture will
discuss DNA testing in relation to each step of the GPS from creating
citations, to analysis of results and then writing up a proof statement or
summary to tell others how we used DNA in our research and why we reached the
conclusions that we did.
