The Forensic Genealogy Revolution with speaker Colleen Fitzpatrick, PhD
Even though DNA was first introduced to genealogists about 20 years ago, it has only been recently that genetic genealogy has been used by law
enforcement for forensic identification. This talk will discuss how this happened, its limitations and capabilities, along with some of the more
important issues faced by both the legal system and the genealogical community.
