Nov 14 @ 7:30 pm
Unwritten Chapters: Unveiling Ancestral Narratives with Y-DNA and mtDNA @ ONLINE LECTURE | Toronto | Ontario | Canada
Perhaps you have already done autosomal DNA testing, or are planning to. But if you haven’t done any Y-DNA or mitochondrial DNA testing you might be missing out on information that can really help you make new discoveries about your ancestors. Katy Rowe-Schurwanz will be joining us to explain what these two other DNA tests are and how they can help. You might have heard the January webinar that Katy did for us about the new tools at Family Tree DNA so you already know what a dynamic speaker she is. Please join us for this free webinar.
The session, including discussion, will be recorded and available for a limited time to Toronto Branch members only.
Space is limited. Register early to reserve your spot!

Katy Rowe-Schurwanz can boast of a genetic link to becoming a genealogist. Katy’s grandfather was a genealogist. Growing up, her maternal grandparents told her tales of their family history. These stories inspired her to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps. She joined FamilyTreeDNA in 2015 as the Trainer for Customer Support. Katy was also fundamental in its creation of the Big Y Specialist Team. Since September 2021, as Product Owner, Katy has been a customer advocate and uses her passion to improve FamilyTreeDNA’s genetic genealogy products so that everyone can discover their family story.
