THE GENES IN THE JEANS: WOMEN, BRICK WALLS AND GENETIC TOOLS

Jamboree's Keynote Speaker

Roberta J. Estes 

Roberta Estes, author of the popular blog www.DNA-eXplained.com is a scientist, National Geographic Genographic affiliate researcher, Million Mito team member and founding pioneer in the genetic genealogy field. An avid 40-year genealogist, Roberta has written over 1400 articles at www.DNAexplain.com about genetic genealogy as well as how to combine traditional genealogy with DNA to solve those stubborn ancestor puzzles. Roberta took her first DNA test in 1999 and hasn't stopped.

Women make up half of our genealogy, but often present more difficult brick walls to overcome. When records are non-existent or fail us, sometimes genetic genealogy provides us with the ability to reach beyond roadblocks. What are some of the tools and techniques you might use to bulldoze yours?

THE STARS IN OUR AMERICAN FAMILIES: 
AN AFRICAN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE 

Jamboree's Keynote Speaker

LaBrenda Garrett-Nelson, JD, LLM, CG®, CGL℠ 

LaBrenda Garrett-Nelson, JD, LLM, CG®, CGL℠, is a trustee and President of the Board for Certification of Genealogists. She earned a BA from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York, and a Law degree and a Master of Laws degree from the New York University School of Law.

Beginning with the disregard of African American family histories as the exemplar, the Keynote will explore the ways in which the field of genealogy has aided in the exclusion of marginalized groups in the past, but is now poised to play a leading role in helping our nation forge a future that acknowledges the contributions of all ethnicities and communities.
