In this session you'll see real-world cases where the newest crop of AI tools can reliably support your genealogy research, without the debris we sometimes encountered just a year ago: hallucinations, mysterious citations, etc.

  DNA  can be the key to breaking through many genealogical brick walls. But DNA can be a complicated genealogical source to use, and DNA research can pose special difficulties for  Scandinavian researchers. This presentation will cover topics such as ethnicity estimates, endogamy, patronymics, and Scandinavian history. We will look at the differences among the big four genealogical DNA companies (Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, and  23andMe), including an examination of some of the best DNA analysis tools.
