Top xxx Lists via Feedspot for Genealogists

Top xxx Lists via Feedspot for Genealogists

Feedspot calls itself a modern RSS Reader, a type of content curator platform.  It has recently has created a couple of “top xxx” lists related to genealogy and many more lists related to other topics (including some topics that I had never even thought about “Top 50 Lucid Dream Blogs and Websites for Oneironauts and Dreamers.”)!

I think the genealogy-related lists have merit in terms of who is listed (they are very real blogs with some great content), though I would personally go to the actual blog page of any that interest me and subscribe directly.  And, that might just be me.  I suspect that if you do subscribe via the Feedspot website, they will serve as an intermediary between you and the listed blogs and I haven’t explored this sufficiently to know for sure. So, value the lists as suggestions and pursue those that interest you how you see fit.

Regardless, again, these are real lists of real blogs currently providing content to interested readers and so worth taking a gander act to see if there is a blog that you are unaware of that might merit an addition to your reading list.

NGS first learned about this when we received an email earlier this week (Upfront with NGS is #19 on the list) …

Hi NGS Team,

National Genealogical Society Publishes The First Workbook on Genetic Genealogy

National Genealogical Society Publishes The First Workbook on Genetic Genealogy

ARLINGTON, VA, 1 September 2016—The National Genealogical Society (NGS) announces the publication of Genetic Genealogy in Practice, the first workbook on genetic genealogy. Written by Blaine T. Bettinger, PhD, JD, and Debbie Parker Wayne, CG^SM, CGL^SM, the book provides family historians and genealogists who have just begun to explore genetic genealogy practical, easy to understand information that they can apply to their research.  As Wayne notes in her blog, Deb’s Delvings in Genealogy, “DNA can seem complex to many of us, but this book will guide you and help build your knowledge level one step at a time.”

At their own pace, readers learn the basic concepts of genetic genealogy. They then build on that knowledge as they study the testing, analysis, and application of Y-DNA, X-DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and autosomal DNA (atDNA) to reach and support genealogical conclusions. Each chapter includes exercises with answer keys for hands-on practice.

Individuals may purchase a print edition of Genetic Genealogy in Practice from the NGS Store starting 12 September. Visit the NGS website to order.

Blaine Bettinger is an intellectual property attorney in Syracuse, New York. The author of The Genetic Genealogist blog, he is a genealogy educator, a trustee of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, and organizer of the Shared cM Project, a crowdsourced project examining the associations between genetic data and genealogical relationships.

Debbie Parker Wayne is a professional genealogist who has conducted research for individuals as well as for the PBS series “Finding Your Roots” with Henry Louis Gates Jr. and other television shows. She is an award-winning author, the coordinator for genetic genealogy institute courses, and the DNA Project Chair for the Texas State Genealogical Society.

Visit the NGS website to learn more about Genetic Genealogy in Practice and other NGS special publications.

Founded in 1903, the National Genealogical Society is dedicated to genealogical education, exemplary standards of research, and the preservation of genealogical records.  The Arlington, Virginia, based nonprofit is the premier national society for everyone, from the beginner to the most advanced family historian, seeking excellence in publications, educational offerings, and guidance in research. It also offers many opportunities to interact with other genealogists.

COMING SOON from NGS -- Genetic Genealogy in Practice #NGS2016GEN

Coming Summer 2016!

The attendees of this week’s NGS conference will find some exciting news at check-in tomorrow. There will be a flyer in their bags to announce a new NGS book coming this summer.

Genetic Genealogy in Practice

This is a handbook family historians have been waiting for to give them practical, easy to understand information that they can apply to their personal genealogical research.  This new book offers an up-to-date account for the testing and application of Y-DNA, X-DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and autosomal DNA (atDNA) to reach and support genealogical conclusions. Genetic Genealogy in Practice is the first genetic genealogy workbook and it was created in an educational format that allows hands-on practice and instantaneous feedback using the answer key.  Each chapter includes exercises that involve the reader in applying the concepts presented to clarify their understanding of the material. 

The book is authored by Blaine T. Bettinger, PhD, JD, and Debbie Parker Wayne, CG, CGL. Since 2007 Blaine has authored The Genetic Genealogist, a long-running blog dedicated to personal genetics. Debbie Parker Wayne is the author of the NGS Continuing Genealogical Studies: Genetic Genealogy, Autosomal DNA course.

Blaine and Debbie share a bit more insight with us about this highly anticipated workbook ...

No matter how clear DNA concepts seem as you hear a lecture, true knowledge only comes with practice in analyzing DNA test results and correlating the data with a family tree. Whether you attend a one hour lecture, an all-day seminar, or a week-long institute, there never seems to be enough time to cover everything and allow plenty of time for hands-on practice. When practicing on your own, it can be difficult to get feedback as to the validity of your conclusions.

Genetic Genealogy in Practice presents the biological underpinnings needed by genetic genealogists and the concepts used to analyze DNA test results for genealogical research. Typical genealogical questions are presented as exercises at the end of each chapter. An answer key provides immediate feedback to the reader as to whether he or she arrived at the expected conclusion and what concepts should have been considered while working the problem. Readers will then be able to apply the knowledge gained to their own family history to make better conclusions using DNA test results.

This book provides the most current understanding of using all types of DNA tests for genealogy beginning with the basics and moving into intermediate and advanced concepts. Genetic genealogy is a rapidly changing discipline, but the concepts and techniques presented here are those that will stand the test of time. An in-depth list of resources includes places where the reader can find step-by-step guides for transitory procedures that change frequently.

The researcher who is new to genetic genealogy may want to come back to the book and review more advanced concepts after gaining some experience with the basic techniques. DNA can seem complex to many of us, but this book will guide you and help build your knowledge level one step at a time.

Things are a Changin' -- AncestryDNA Will Be Updating Its Matching Algorithm

The news all over Facebook (FB) yesterday and today is AncestryDNA’s plans to change its matching algorithm.

Blaine T Bettinger, The Genetic Genealogist, has a well-written piece on what’s possibly coming and what it means for genealogists in AncestryDNA Plans Update to Matching Algorithm.  He also refers to a post written by Roberta Estes (DNAeXplained) and comments posted by Tim Janzen on Rootsweb.   

I suggest you read the three pieces to come up to speed on this topic.

Once AncestryDNA has implemented the changes, the dust has settled, and AncestryDNA has provided new educational materials and explanations, then Angie Bush, an NGS Director and the head of the NGS Genetic Genealogy Committee, will do a guest post.

NGS Launches Its Newest Course -- Genetic Genealogy: Autosomal DNA Course

Arlington, VA, 9 December, 2015— The National Genealogical Society (NGS) proudly announces the release of its newest Continuing Genealogical Studies course, Genetic Genealogy: Autosomal DNA.

Autosomal DNA comprises twenty-two of the twenty-three pairs of chromosomes, excluding the one pair of sex chromosomes. These matched pairs of chromosomes are called autosomes and contain a comprehensive record of a person's genetic ancestry. Genetic Genealogy: Autosomal DNA is a seven-module, cloud-based course that focuses primarily on concepts and techniques for genetic genealogy. It also introduces the concepts covering the analysis of the data, no matter how the data is accessed or which tools are used to analyze the data.

The course was developed by Debbie Parker Wayne, CG^sm, a nationally recognized lecturer, educator, and full-time researcher experienced in using DNA analysis and traditional techniques for genealogical research. Her DNA research focuses on client projects and on research into her own family project that includes Y‑DNA, mtDNA, X‑DNA, and autosomal DNA studies. Her traditional genealogical research focuses on Texas, the Southwest, and the Southern U.S.

In addition to being a full-time board-certified genealogist, Wayne is a trustee for the BCG Education Fund and is the Texas State Genealogical Society's DNA Project Chair. Her publications include a column in NGS Magazine on using DNA analysis for genealogical research. She coordinates and teaches comprehensive, interactive genetic genealogy courses on how to interpret and apply DNA test results to genealogical research at the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP) and the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR).

Genetic Genealogy: Autosomal DNA is available for $60.00 for members and $85.00 for nonmembers. For further information or to purchase the course, visit NGS Continuing Genealogical Studies.

NGS courses are cloud-based courses that offer you the convenience of completing a genealogy course at your own pace, at any location, at any time. The Continuing Genealogical Studies courses help you expand your knowledge of specific subjects, including: 

·       Genetic Genealogy, the Basics

·       Introduction to Civil War Research

·       Researching Your Revolutionary War Ancestors

NGS American Genealogical Studies offers a comprehensive program of courses structured to help you develop essential research skills. These include:

·       The Basics

·       Guide to Documentation and Source Citation

·       Beyond the Basics

Founded in 1903, the National Genealogical Society is dedicated to genealogical education, exemplary standards of research, and the preservation of genealogical records. The Arlington, Virginia-based nonprofit is the premier national society for everyone, from the beginner to the most advanced family historian seeking excellence in publications, educational offerings, and guidance in research.
