Sure Lithuanian Genealogy. There continues to be a lot of discussion in the forum about the FF test and 23andme. I know that some have done FF however, the most recent discussion recommended 23andme. Unfortunately, I missed out on that thread and I thought that your webinar and the knowledge that there is such a thing might encourage some to choose FF or to investigate it as well. So I hope that some FF testers and maybe others will join you.

Elise,

Are you still going to hold the webinar on managing DNA projects? That's the one I'm most interested in.

Thanks!

LSSmith - Thanks!

nathanm - Yes, I'm planning to do a webinar on project administration in March. Exact date still TBD, but I should be setting the final March schedule by this weekend and will announce it then.

Do have an outline of what you are covering? I saw it says Family Finder but what parts and aspects of FF?

[efgen]

Sorry Matt, just saw your question. This is a beginner/intermediate level webinar, so it starts with DNA basics and autosomal inheritance, I briefly explain the Affy/Illumina conversion, explain some of the science with regard to SNP blocks and how the FF software determines relatedness, and show sample FF results and explain how to read and interpret them.
