Gil Bardige

Help!
I just got my DNA results
and I'm Confused!

"The Jewish Genealogical Society of Connecticut welcomes everyone interested in Jewish genealogy to our webinar presentation.

Born and raised in Chicago, Gil lives in the Columbus, Ohio area. He is a graduate of the New York Institute of Technology, and recently retired after a long career in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, most recently as a National Business Development Leader for Trane.

Gil has spoken at a number of local events and international conferences, including IAJGS conferences in Orlando, and Cleveland. Due to his excellent presentations at the IAJGS 2020 San Diego virtual conference, Gil gained new audiences. He is sharing his techniques via the Internet in the United States, as well as abroad.

A genealogist for 40 years and genetic genealogist for more than a dozen years, Gil tested at all four of the major DNA companies. He currently manages three Y-DNA projects at Family Tree DNA as a Volunteer Administrator. Gil loves to help people manage their expectations and begin to remove confusion from the DNA results.

He is a firm believer that you can use DNA results as a tool in your genealogical research because it generates clues that can help confirm relationships.

Gil will share the processes and techniques that he uses to prioritize matches to get organized, so you will feel like you can accomplish something.

"So, take a deep breath and join me in understanding your results of ethnicity and matches;...reduce the thousands of matches to numbers you can actually contact and research and maybe find, like I did, keys to expanding your genealogy family tree."

His speaking style is high energy (you won’t be bored) and he loves to take questions.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of Connecticut looks forward to the end of the novel coronavirus pandemic, and to welcoming members, and guests, to our programs at Temple Sinai, where JGSCT houses its library. At that time, JGSCT members will be able to borrow items, except reference books and materials, which must remain in the library.
