- Attendees will also learn a great deal more about DNA as it relates to WikiTree.
- The workshop is based on the knowledge levels and questions from the participants.
- The meeting and workshop are free for all participants. The same Zoom registration link should be used for the whole day.
- If you are staying for the afternoon session, please bring a lunch AND your laptop or tablet.
