Washington, D.C. area resident, University of Maryland College Park graduate Marie Rundquist applies her diverse experience -- as a DNA project manager, collaborative research community moderator, and president of an information systems consulting firm, in researching her North American family history. 

​
​Interweaving DNA test results, history, and genealogy, Marie Rundquist develops comprehensive historical narratives that are uniquely products of the present but which give voice to unheard ancestors, and truths, of the past.

​Presentation attendees will learn how to apply the following DNA test results to answer genealogy questions:

• Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
• Y Chromosome DNA (Y DNA)
• X Chromosome DNA
• Autosomal DNA tests

Hear about surprising and unexpected outcomes of DNA case studies, compelling DNA findings, and exciting success stories arising from genetic genealogy research!
