Hi,

It will be ready when Elise is back home in Florida and has a bit of time to decompress from the RootsTech conference. :-) It was a completely awesome week... but I am sure she needs a bit of down time.

FREE Webinar - Advanced Topics at Family Tree DNA, Part 1 Continued: Y-DNA SNPs & Hap

When is there going to be a webinar on SNPs?

Hi,

The Y-SNP Webinar is this week.

FREE Webinar - Advanced Topics at Family Tree DNA, Part 1 Continued: Y-DNA SNPs & Haplogroups
Time: Tuesday, February 4, 2014 12pm Central (6pm GMT)
Registration: http://bit.ly/1a90coK

This webinar is a continuation of the advanced Y-DNA webinar presented live on January 28. In the previous webinar, we focused on Y-DNA STRs. In this new webinar, we'll focus on Y-DNA SNPs and Haplogroups. Topics include the Y-DNA Haplotree, options for "deep-clade" and individual SNP testing, SNP discovery projects and the draft Y-DNA tree.

If you missed the Advanced Y-DNA STR webinar or the Results Explained Y-DNA webinar, we recommend viewing the recordings of those before attending this presentation. Following are the links to the recordings:

We should have the recording up by Wednesday afternoon. However, attending live is the best option if you want to ask questions. Elise usually does Q&A until all have had their questions answered. :-)

Thanks Rebekah.. I did sign up..

Question: My new Co-Admin and 2 possible new Co-Admins are signed up for the Webinar which is tomorrow..This is for my largish Lower Delmarva group.

Should I sign up too in case something is gone over that I do not understand or will it be available afterwards to look at?

Thanks
