Join us for the September DNA Club webinar at which Michelle Leonard of Genes and Genealogy will be teaching tips and tactics to increase your success when contacting and corresponding with DNA matches.
Contacting our DNA matches can be an extremely beneficial step to take. However, it’s not always as easy at it seems. Diplomacy, patience, and a thorough understanding of what you are asking and the implications it may have for someone else are really helpful, to ensure you can contact your DNA match and have the best chance of fruitful correspondence going forward. Michelle Leonard draws on her many years of experience as a professional DNA researcher, to help you pitch it right when you reach out to a match.
