- **Event Name**: Cracking the Code: Leveraging Genetic Genealogy - February 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: While traditional paper trails are the bedrock of family history, genetic genealogy has revolutionized how we break through "brick walls." For some, like adoptees, DNA is the primary key to the past; for others, it is the essential tool for verifying years of research. Regardless of your experience level, Craig Gowens will help you navigate your results and move beyond the initial "Now What?" phase of testing.

In our February meeting, Craig will guide us through the logic of genetic analysis using platform-neutral techniques like Shared Match Analysis and the Leeds Method. These methods serve as roadmaps, helping you organize matches into identifiable family branches. Whether you are looking to confirm a lineage or solve a family mystery, this session provides the skills to turn a list of cousins into a clear family story.

We will conclude the presentation with a Q&amp;A session, so bring your questions!

About the Speaker: Craig Gowens is a highly regarded genetic genealogy researcher and a long-standing member of the Sno-Isle Genealogical Society. An experienced presenter at regional conferences, Craig has helped countless researchers master the complexities of DNA analysis.
