2:00-3:00pm   “History, Genes, and Geography”  This session details the cultural and historical factors that make it possible for one to use simple commercial ancestral DNA testing to pinpoint precisely where one’s direct male Scottish ancestor lived when he first took his surname over 1000 years ago. There will be a 15 min. question and answer period at the end of the session. 

3:10-4:10pm  “Pinpointing Your Scottish Genetic Homeland” 7 simple steps; everything you will need to know to pinpoint an origin, from which test, and which commercial testing company, to the freely accessible resources that one will need. There will be a 15 min. Q and A period.

4:20-5:20pm   “Case Studies” Practical examples of people who have successfully used their DNA to determine firstly whether their Scottish ancestors were of Celtic, Pictish, Viking, Ancient Briton, or Anglo-Saxon origin, and where precisely they lived; a 15 min. question and answer period at the end. 

5:20-5:30pm  Drawing for prizes.
