The DNA Special Interest Group focuses on exploring and understanding DNA testing through all the major companies, including Ancestry, FamilyTreeDNA, MyHeritage, and 23andMe. Meetings involve examining the tools available on these platforms, discussing how to interpret test results, and considering next steps for further research. Each session includes updates on the latest news from the testing companies, followed by a deep dive into one specific company. Members are encouraged to bring their questions for group discussion and support. The group welcomes both beginners and experienced researchers, ensuring that meetings are engaging for all skill levels
