It's a great time to have German heritage and live in Cincinnati. This summer Palatines to America is holding their national conference in Cincinnati from June 17th-20th. Check out their <a href="https://www.palamgermangenealogysociety.org/bkstore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=49" target="_blank">website</a>. I am proud to be among the presenters who will be speaking at this event.<br />
<br />
The International German Genealogy Partnership will hold an international conference in Cincinnati from July 16-18 2021. The Hamilton County Genealogical Society is the local host. You can read more about the conference <a href="https://iggp.org/cpage.php?pt=145" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
In anticipation of these events, and my love of DNA and its potential to make connections between Germans and their American descendants, I created an Ancestor Project that is housed on Gedmatch. I'm proud to say that in a very short period of time, 851 kits have been submitted. In addition, the facebook group has 133 members in one week. This is open to anyone with German ancestry and allows participants to use powerful <a href="http://gedmatch.com/" target="_blank">Gedmatch</a> tools to try to find connections both in the U.S. and abroad.<br />
<br />
It became apparent that members did not understand how to use some of the tools. To this end, I created a facebook group for members who wanted to share results, connect with "cousins" and get suggestions from other members about the tools and techniques that have worked for them. It is listed as a "private" group because it is a violation of the Gedmatch Terms of Service to post DNA results in a public forum. In order to join the "German Connections" facebook group, you must supply your Gedmatch kit number to the moderator. Use the facebook link listed in the project.<br />

I am excited about the possibilities of collaboration. Already I've received a great deal of assistance and encouragement from Tanja Bals. Tanja has also started an Ancestor Project called the Former Duchy of Oldenburg (Lower Saxony) that you can join if you have ancestors from Oldenburg. There are also several other regional German Ancestor Projects, as well as other ethnic groups, that may be of interest to you.<br />

About Jo:<br />
How did I miss out on Jo? Based on Jo's picture, I know I've seen her at several events, including our DNA Interest Group meetings. I knew from Nancy Chouteau that Jo has largely assumed the responsibility of managing the Cincinnati/Dayton Roots Magic User Group. I did not know what an incredible talent was right under my nose.<br />
<br />
Jo has been involved in family history and genealogy since 1980. She is a lifetime member of the Hamilton County Genealogical Society, as well as the Clermont and Warren County Societies. She has her own website <a href="http://www.ancestorsofmjr.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ancestorsofmjr.com/ </a> that lists her many accomplishments and services.<br />
<br />
Topic:<br />
Jo has agreed to discuss one of the newest tools available to genetic genealogists -- the AutoCluster tool.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Clustering is
based on the method developed by Dana Leeds to organize your matches into
groups that share a common ancestor or ancestral couple. The GEDmatch
Clustering Tool does the analyzing for you and gives you a visual chart showing
those who match each other. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jo will demonstrate the use of this tool, how to change the
search parameters (and how that affects your results), and what to do with the
results will be discussed and demonstrated. She will also discuss the clustering tool available through DNAPainter.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />

In this presentation, "Hunting the Hunters" -- Hot on the Trail with DNA Strategies" Debra will discuss how she used Y-DNA, autosomal DNA, FAN club research and newspapers to reveal her family's truth. A hefty dose of scandal comes together resulting in the truth being WAY stranger than fiction. <u><b>This presentation is designed for genealogists of all skill levels.</b></u><br />
<br />
Debra gave this presentation at the OGS Conference 2019. It promises to be just what we need as we begin the holiday season. Hope to see you there.<br />

After a three-year closure while the Cincinnati Museum Center underwent a complete renovation, many patrons anxiously awaited the reopening of the Cincinnati History Library and Archives (CHLA). Now a few months in, the staff of the library has graciously agreed to host two tours of the new facility. Visitors will learn of the many resources available to them and get tips on how best to access them.<br />

the earliest doctors became educated. Ms. Browning plays an amazing
role!</span></span></div>

<br />
What: Meeting of the Southwest Ohio DNA Interest Group (SWOHDNA)<br />
Where: West Chester Mid-Pointe Library<br />
Who: Guest Speaker - Kelli Bergheimer<br />
When: Tuesday, October 8th<br />
Time: 7:00 - 8:45 pm<br />
<br />
Directions: <a href="https://www.midpointelibrary.org/page/westchester" target="_blank">https://www.midpointelibrary.org/page/westchester</a><br />
<br />
At this next meeting, Kelli Bergheimer will lead us in a discussion about some of the timely issues facing genetic genealogists. Topics discussed will include the reliability of DNA testing, ethics and privacy concerns. We will learn about the laws and terms of service that apply to this ever-changing field. Catch up on the DNA cases making the news.<br />
<br />
In addition, Kathy Reed will discuss a proposed study that she plans to use as the basis of lectures for the PALAM Conference – Palatines to America National Conference (June
17-20, 2020) <a href="https://www.palam.org/">https://www.palam.org/</a> and possibly the IGGP – International German Genealogy Partnership Conference (July 16-18, 2021) <a href="https://iggpartner.org/index.php">https://iggpartner.org/index.php</a>. The focus of these talks will be on making DNA connections between Americans of German descent and their German ancestors. Find out how you can play a role. Don't have German ancestors? No problem. The techniques used will be applicable to any family study regardless of ethnicity.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
We hope to see you at what promises to be a very interesting meeting. This meeting is especially appropriate for those new to DNA testing.<br />

Genealogists have waited a long time for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Sacramental records to be available online.

Julie Ross has volunteered at The Archdiocese of Cincinnati Archives for years, fulfilling hundreds of genealogy research requests. Julie has been very successful in finding elusive ancestors and is the perfect person to teach us how to navigate this new record set on FMP. Julie will do a live demonstration on how to find Catholic baptism, marriage, and burial records for Southwest Ohio families on FMP. She will also discuss tips, tricks, limitations and work-arounds. FMP subscribers, bring your laptops/tablets for hands-on practice. For non-FMP subscribers, you may wish to take advantage of FMP’s free 14-day trial at <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.findmypast.com/free-trial&source=gmail&ust=1567641530519000&usg=AFQjCNHs2jEtLzdwjmF2ZTU3xxbHobnRiQ" href="https://www.findmypast.com/free-trial" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span class="m_-4133601836398426070gmail-s1" style="color: #dca10d;">https://www.<span class="il">findmypast</span>.com/<wbr></wbr>free-trial</span></a> to participate with your device during the program.</div>

On August 13th, Kelli Bergheimer did a presentation for the Southwest Ohio DNA Interest Group.<br />
As a group, we frequently discuss some of the tools that are part of Gedmatch.com. Although many of the tools are free, other tools are available with a Tier 1 membership at a cost of $10.00 per month.<br />
<br />
One such tool is called the "Lazarus" tool. This tool allows you to use the DNA of relatives of a given ancestor, such as a grandparent, to construct a kit for that untested person. Kelli explains how this can be a "work in progress" until 1500 cM of DNA have been collected. This new kit can then be used to find additional matches within the Gedmatch database. It is a fascinating tool, and Kelli discussed several techniques for identifying potential matches that can be used in creating a new kit.<br />
<br />
The video presentation is now available on the <a href="https://vimeo.com/356063953" target="_blank">this link</a>, on the HCGS site, or on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaAoEBMgScU&t=9s" target="_blank">YouTube</a>. Be sure to check it out.<br />

It's almost here! If you are typical, you've probably collected a lot of research, but are probably overwhelmed with the thought of preserving it and putting in a format that can be shared with others. If this describes you, you may want to attend an event that promises to provide you with many possibilities for getting your research "out of the cabinet."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shelley, a nationally-recognized speaker, <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">specializes in family history research in Ohio, as well as writing about topics of genealogical interest for magazines and journals. Here is a broad outline of the day:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Session 1: Writing to Preserve Your Family History</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Lunch: Following lunch, you will have the opportunity to see samples of a variety of ways our members have shared their family histories through books, blogs, journal articles, etc.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Session 2: There are many ways to share your family history. Shelley will discuss several options.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Session 3: In this day of online publishing, Shelley will discuss her use of MyCanvas as a tool for sharing her research with family members. She will provide tips on how to engage your reader and keep them wanting more.</span></span><br />
<b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></b>
<b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Additional Information:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Attendance is limited to the first 75 registrants.</b></li>
<li><b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Lunch is optional -- you may choose to bring your own. If you are an HCGS member, you will receive an email with the reservation form. Otherwise, it will soon be linked to the Events section on our website at http://hcgsohio.org.</b></li>
<li><b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The library requests that you park at Symmes Elementary (next door) as there is limited parking in their lot. </b></li>
<li><b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">It is suggested that you dress in layers, as the meeting room has been known to get cold.</b></li>
<li><b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">All orders for lunch MUST be placed by Monday, August 12th. Checks must be </b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><u><b>received</b></u></span><b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> by that date.</b></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Have you heard of <b>Ortssippenbücher</b>? A recent guest post on the <i>SK Translations</i> blog (link below) from Scott
Holl, manager of History & Genealogy at St. Louis County Library in St.
Louis, Missouri, explains these books. These German community based family
books include genealogical information about residents of a specific village or
parish, generally from surviving local church records. Some begin as early as
the mid-1500s and run through about 1900. If you find one for your ancestor’s
village, they can be a great resource. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another great resource is the <i>SK Translations</i> website.
Katharine Schober, a professional translator, offers a newsletter with
translation tips and German research sources I have found useful. You can
read the <a href="https://sktranslations.com/ortssippenbucher-important-sources-german-genealogical-research-guest-post-scott-holl" target="_blank">Ortssippenbücher article</a> and find out more about SK Translations newsletter at
Katharine’s website <a href="https://sktranslations.com/">https://sktranslations.com/</a>.
Find out what these books are, where you can find them, and how to use them in
your research!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here's an example from Archive.org of the <a href="https://archive.org/details/ortssippenbuchsc1441unse/page/n2" target="_blank">Ortsippenbuch Schmieheim</a> (Baden).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Note: Neither the author or HCGS has any relationship with Katherine Schober or SK Translations. As an avid researcher with multiple (7 at last count) German family lines, she passes along useful resources from time to time.)</div>

On April 9th, Natalie Boyer spoke to the members of the Southwest Ohio DNA Interest Group.We had the chance to take a step beyond the science of DNA and explore its application. Natalie told us that, at the age of 13, her mother let her know that the "Dad" who was raising her was her adoptive father. Her mother also let her know who her biological father was. The surprise came later when a DNA test proved that that man was not, in fact, her father. Hence, the "three Dads."<br />

If you have taken a test through AncestryDNA, you may be interested in this topic. It is appropriate for both newbies and veterans of DNA research. Blaine Bettinger, founder of <a href="http://dna-central.com/">DNA-Central.com</a> and nationally-recognized speaker, has prepared a video on the new tools that are available at AncestryDNA. These include a "New Match Listing" and "ThruLines."<br />
<br />
In addition to these tools, Kathy Reed will demonstrate the MyTreeTags tool and how to access it. She will also show how ThruLines has assisted her in identifying other potential "cousins." If you bring a laptop, any remaining time will be used for individual collaboration on the use of these tools.<span style="font-size: 13.2px;">You may want to read<a href="https://dna-explained.com/2019/03/11/ancestrys-thrulines-dissected-how-to-use-and-not-get-bit-by-the-gators/" target="_blank"> Roberta Estes' blog post on ThruLines</a>. She gives a very detailed explanation of the potential payoffs and pitfalls of using this tool. Users should understand the following: </span><br />

<b>Background:</b><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Autosomal DNA, Y-DNA, and Mitochondrial DNA all have family
secrets hidden in their results from testing. You just have to know where
to search for the clues that might lead to some amazing discoveries! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Natalie Boyer’s presentation, she reveals stories of
unexpected ethnicity results, surprising paternal results and how DNA proved a
relationship 8 generations back. There are surprising stories around
every corner and twists to most everyone’s DNA results. Find out how she
used these results to break down brick walls and help other’s reveal their true
parental path. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<b>Bio:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Natalie is an avid genealogist who has been searching her roots for 40 years. At the age of 10, she would spend hours at the local library combing through books and microfilm in search of just one more ancestor and then maybe, just maybe, one more after that. Her husband, Rick, equates genealogy to the online gaming industry where every generation you go back is another level achieved.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her love of genealogy and family history grew even more when online records began to surface. When her husband renewed her subscription to Ancestry.com about 6 years ago, she developed a love of genetic genealogy and has been on a quest to break down brick walls and unravel mysteries long hidden in the past, both for herself and others.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Professionally, she works at Procter and Gamble but dreams of the day when she can retire and focus her attention on genealogy and genetic genealogy. <br />
