I have been asked to forward this to the list. I know that DNA studies are
of interest to some list members (and most certainly not to others!) so I am
agreeing to forward this. I am not endorsing this event. The Guild of One
Name Studies is a reputable grouping of family history groups and
individuals.
If you have any questions about it please contact the organiser at

There is to be no discussion of this message on the list, please.

Subject: Guild of One Name Studies DNA Developments Seminar
I am not a member of the your list so wonder if you can publicise an
upcoming Guild of One Name Studies seminar?
The Guild of One Name Studies is organising a "DNA Developments" seminar at
the National Star College, Ullenwood near Cheltenham, from 9.30am on
Saturday February 20th 2010.
DNA testing is changing the way we are now able to study surnames and the
seminar will build on previous DNA discussions with emphasis on practical
experience and the interpretation of results. The morning sessions will
concentrate on project results and conclusions (looking at four specific
surname studies) and consider the implications for surname studies in
general. The afternoon sessions will look at the administration process
(marketing and promotion, tracking down living relatives to test,
fundraising and subsidies, and interpreting group results). The final
session will discuss how to run a more effective project.
The cost of attending is £18.00 and includes tea/coffee and a light buffet
lunch. Full details and a booking form are available on the Guild website
www.one-name.org
