Several free genealogy webinars will be offered this week.
Legacy Family Tree Webinars will present “Lessons in Jewish DNA” on Wednesday, June 5 at 2 p.m. The hottest topic in genealogy in recent years has been genetics and many thousands of genealogists have ordered DNA tests. The situation is more complicated among Jews, who have married “within the tribe” for hundreds of years. The speaker will present a “how I did it” approach, demonstrating the successes he has had in his own families and the general lessons which are applicable to all genetic genealogy research.

The Ontario Genealogical Society will present “DNA Painter” on Thursday, June 6 at 7 p.m. The DNA Painter website provides utilities for genetic genealogists. The site has two distinct parts: profiles and tools. This webinar will focus on “profiles”, which allows researchers to “paint” their chromosomes, indicating which segments of DNA came from different ancestors. Options will be shown: painting to the grandparent level or painting to every distant ancestor whose DNA contribution is identified. It will look briefly at the tools section, which provides an interactive version of Blaine Bettinger’s Shared centiMorgan Project and a “What are the odds?” tool for testing hypotheses.
