You’ve received your 23andMe DNA matches results back from your test kit. This workshop is for you, if you’re wondering what you need to know to: 

1. Manipulate all aspects of the 23andMe matching website - matches, filtering, chromosome browser, etc.
2. Establish a criteria for selecting matches of interest/no interest/maybe?
3. Evaluate matches for best meeting criteria for further review.
4. Review the following concepts: Endogamy, IBS vs IBD, Triangulation.
5. Use you own data, on your own computer.
6. Use split screen/2nd monitor to follow the action, while working on own data.
7. How to cross reference info found on 23andMe with other platforms - GEDmatch, My HeritageDNA, FamilyTreeDNA, and AncestryDNA
8. This workshop will not directly/but might touch on 23andM - ethnicity platform or tree building platform.
9. Once the attendees are in place - the homework (!?) will start arriving!

This hands-on workshop (please do not come to watch!) will focus on the unique challenges presented by those with Ashkenazi heritage who want further insight into discovering their recent ancestors.

Hi,
Still have a couple of spots.

The email address genresearch13@... appears to be Truncated in the original message for some reason.
Please convert this email address "genresearch13@...", here is a written version you will have to convert - genresearch12 (@) yahoo.com. 
Or send me a message at 954-328-3559.  Paul from Southamton was successful in doing this.  Thanks Paul!
Both work for me.  Perhaps JG Discussion Group should put out some info on this.  I have had several comments on this problem.
