“About the Investigative Genetic Genealogy Center” will feature Tracie Boyle, a professional genetic genealogist and Director of Case Management at Ramapo College’s Investigative Genetic Genealogy Center.

Boyle will introduce the Center’s work, explain its capabilities and share memorable cases. The presentation will also explore the methods, limitations and ethical considerations involved in developing investigative leads. A question-and-answer session will follow.

“I hope attendees come away with a better understanding of how investigative genetic genealogy actually works, including its limitations, the work involved in developing an investigative lead, and why it can be so important in cases that have gone without answers for years,” Boyle said.

The program is free, and registration is required at tinyurl.com/about-iggc.
