About this webinar

This webinar was recorded as part of the Genetic Genealogy 2020 conference.

The Ballycarry project is examining a geographic area through DNA and attempting to find connections between people descended from families who lived there in days gone by.

    I just submitted my DNA to Family Tree DNA. I am interested in the Ballycarry DNA project. My family name is Beggs and although I have been a member of Ancestry for 4 years; I still have not found out where my family members from Antrim came from. Looking forward to seeing what comes from the transfer.
