Today’s new programming includes a very up-to-the-minute interview at the SCGS Jamboree earlier this month with Katherine Hope Borges, the Director of the International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG). Now you know Og is going to love this organization right off the bat because it’s got his name in it – but beyond this blindingly obvious fact, and much more importantly, it is an organization whose main mission is to promote and educate people about genetic genealogy.
Conceived after a Family Tree Conference in Texas in 2004 where she received and read Trace Your Roots With DNA, ISOGG officially launched in April of 2005, and currently has a membership of about 5,000 members from 46 countries. And here’s a real surprise – membership in this great organization is FREE! That’s right – they know you want to spend your money on DNA testing, not dues. Watch this interview, and then go to ISOGG.org to see such treats as speaker lists, info on various DNA interest groups, consultant lists, comparison charts for DNA testing companies, and famous DNA pages where you can see if your DNA matches up with that of famous folks.
