Speaker will be in-person / Presentation will be recorded

Forensic Genetic Genealogy (FGG) has been used for more than ten years to solve hundreds of cold cases, many dating back decades. Each day the media reports still another violent crime being solved or a set of unidentified remains being identified through FGG. This talk will present case studies that offer insight into how FGG compares to conventional genealogy, with suggestions on what the future may hold for this game-changing tool for human identification.
