Bobski Masson

Bob "Bobski" Masson presents:
"Expanding Your Genealogy Research with DNA"
Description: You have a lot of relatives out there who can help you with your family genealogy – you just don't know who they are! A DNA test will help you find those relatives, and tell you much about where you came from. Let's explore what DNA is, how it "works", and what you can learn from your DNA. This presentation is geared towards individuals who may be considering a DNA test or have taken one and want to know more about how it can help their genealogy research.

BIO: Bob Masson, aka Bobski, is a retired high-tech marketing professional with a passion for computers since high school. Specializing in marketing supercomputers, he focused on industries like oil and gas, computer-aided engineering, and life sciences. In the life sciences sector, Bobski contributed to marketing programs in genomics, drug discovery, molecular modeling, and personalized medicine. He managed accounts related to the Human Genome Project and witnessed the first draft of the human genome sequence in 2001. Bobski, a DNA enthusiast, has taken various DNA tests, revealing his Scottish and Germanic heritage. Residing in Frederick, Colorado, he balances his time between managing a consulting company, genealogy, outdoor activities, and family life with his wife Connie and four daughters.

BCarol Darrow

Carol Darrow presents:

"Brick Wall or Picket Fence?"

Description: It's easy to throw up your hands and declare any missing or confusing record as a "brick wall."   Some are truly brick walls, such as the destroyed 1890 US Census.   But learning to distinguish between brick walls and picket fences will help you become more skilled in genealogy research.


BIO: Carol Cooke Darrow has been a professional genealogist for the past 24 years.  She currently teaches "Beginning Genealogy" classes on Zoom and facilitates the WriteNow! genealogical writing group also on Zoom.
