The program for the night is “Technology Enabled Collaboration for Genealogists” presented by Tony Hanson. This presentation will examine relatively new capabilities that are enabling collaborative family research: Greatly improved presentation of DNA results from Ancestry DNA and MyHeritage DNA, and the Family Search Family Tree. Attendees will learn the benefits provided by each and will learn how to effectively incorporate them into their own personal research methodology.
Tony earned degrees in Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications and is now retired after a 32-year career with AT&T working in the areas of Information Technology, Network Support and Cellular Provisioning. He is an avid genealogist, researching his father’s Norwegian and his mother’s German emigrants. He has held many offices in the Dallas Genealogical Society and currently serves as the Director of Membership for the Texas State Genealogical Society.
