In his presentation, Holtzman, a long-time JGSI genealogy help desk

relatives and would-be relatives. One of the first to take a DNA test
(kit No. 60) with FamilyTreeDNA, and also a DNA tester with AncestryDNA
and 23andMe, he will touch on the strengths and weaknesses of each
genetic testing service. Plus, he'll review MyHeritage.com and
GEDmatch.com .

Genealogy has been a favorite hobby of his since 1979. Holtzman has
attended the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies
annual conference at least 12 times since 1999. His research has taken
him around the world, visiting relatives discovered through his research
efforts.
