Of interest to fl edgling and expe- rienced genealogists and adoptees who need direction to clarify family lines will be given the keys to the latest proven tool to overcome brick walls in searching their heritage. Emily will provide you with the confi dence to use DNA cheek swab testing to overcome or disprove oral family history, confl icting evi- dence or when written records stop in your family research lines. The autosomal DNA test can be sub- mitted by both males and females and may answer lineage questions by providing matches going back as far as ten generations. Emily Doolin Aulicino, a retired teacher and genealogist since 1970, manages thirteen DNA projects through Family Tree DNA (FTD- NA). She is the regional Coordina- tor of the International Society of Genetic Genealogy, manages 13 DNA projects and a surname study at the Guild of One Name Studies. Her presentations reach a variety of audiences, including: Family Tree DNA's International Conference; Southern California Genealogical Society's DNA Day at Jamboree; All Cultural Society of Ireland (where she has written for Irish Roots Magazine of Dublin); West Coast Summit on African- American Genealogy; Left Coast Eisteddfod; and various genealogi- cal and lineage societies including the DAR. She was selected to preview Na- tional Geographic's Geno 2.0 test and to participate in an autosomal research study exploring the rea- sons for signifi cant differences in match probabilities between Jew- ish and non-Jewish populations.
