DNA testing and interpretation is a hot topic in genealogy these days. Pioneer Genealogical Society will discuss it at their monthly meeting on Monday, May 1, at 7 pm at the Ponca City Library. Hallie Godbehere, PGS Board member, will present the program from her extensive experience using DNA to track down family members and their mutual ancestors, with a special emphasis on using the Leeds method. In 2018 Dana Leeds, while trying to help a shocked young man looking for his REAL birth parents, devised a way to use a spreadsheet and color coding to sort through pages of DNA matches from testing to simplify and identify his actual four grandparents’ lines. It can be great way to make sense of testing results to solve mysteries in family research and find new direction when documents are not available.
