NIFHS's DNA Summer School returns this summer

News from the North of Ireland Family History Society (www.nifhs.org) about its returning DNA Summer School:

NIFHS DNA Summer School 2021
Monday 6th – Friday 10th September

The Classes
This September sees the return of our very popular DNA Summer School, a bit later this year due to circumstances. This time it is being held via Zoom which will give people an opportunity to attend irrespective of where they live.

Classes will last for around 90 minutes – usually a one-hour talk followed by questions and answers. The focus of this summer school is to enhance knowledge of DNA research and to make the whole subject more understandable. All four types of DNA will be covered (X, Y, Mitochondrial and Autosomal) and classes will provide practical advice to enable concepts to be understood and new skills to be learned. There will be a focus on making progress on DNA research within Ireland. However these classes are suitable for anyone irrespective of where their family originated. The classes are £10 each. However if you wish to attend all 10 classes a discount is available and a booking can be made at a cost of £80.
