204c93bf-3c2e-426c-82b1-2b1e2e08e424

Join us for the June Family Tree DNA Club webinar, at which Karen Evans will be tutoring us in how to work with our DNA matches for research success!

Making the most of your DNA results

Genealogists rely on all kinds of records—census returns, parish registers, wills, and more—to piece together their family stories.

But DNA adds a powerful extra layer of evidence that can help confirm relationships, uncover new branches, and break through long-standing brick walls.


In this practical and informative webinar, experienced genealogist Karen Evans will guide you through how to get the most out of your DNA results—especially when used alongside your traditional research.

Karen will explain how to:

  • Combine DNA results with documentary research to build a stronger, more accurate family tree and avoid false leads;
  • Understand and work effectively with your DNA match list, even if it feels overwhelming or full of distant matches;
  • Use top tools and techniques—including clustering, chromosome browsers, and tree-building strategies—to interpret your results and make real progress in your research.

Whether you're just getting started with DNA or want to use it more effectively, this session will give you practical tips and fresh insights to take your family history further.
