So you've taken a DNA test, what's next? Guest speaker Steven Frank explores the features of AncestryDNA that can help you to understand your results.

This presentation covers the various features on AncestryDNA, both well known and hidden that can help you to understand your DNA results. Learn how to organize matches into groups, understand relationships, quickly find common ancestors and document all your findings.

This presentation is part one of a half-day workshop, followed by “Using Genetic Networks Like a Pro.” Join us for one or both lectures!

He has successfully reunited over 150 adoptees with their birth parents using commercial DNA testing. He also volunteers his time aiding the children of American GI’s in Vietnam obtain American citizenship and for the Central Indiana DNA Interest Group, non-profit organization with the goal of educating Hoosiers on the benefits of genealogical DNA testing. Steven is a former Deputy Attorney General for the State of Indiana and subsequently founded Forensic Genetic Consultants, LLC to aid law enforcement with genetic genealogy work.
