This presentation will explore multiple case studies in researching Jarrett’s own family history using genetic genealogy. Using different types of DNA tests and multiple techniques to identify significant DNA matches Jarrett was able to expand multiple branches of his tree and find lost cousins, for both his Ashkenazi and Sephardi ancestry. This presentation will be of interest to everyone, not just those with Jewish ancestry.

Jarrett Ross began researching his own family history in 2009. Since then he has built his own personal tree with over 7000 people, successfully connected with thousands of relatives all over the world, and has helped build hundreds of trees for people of varying ancestral backgrounds.
