Leah Larkin’s session on endogamy is particularly interesting. She gives tips to discover whether an individual has an endogamous background if it is not known. She also discusses how to better understand the match list when there is endogamy. I strongly recommend this lecture, especially to those who are looking for an advanced DNA topic.
Michael Lacopo’s session on Y-DNA is also one of my favorites of the group. He discusses a group of case studies where Y DNA is used. These are presented in his usual entertaining manner. There is also a discussion of the cutting-edge scientific discoveries being made due to Y-500 testing. I also recommend it.
