Israel Pickholtz will tackle the challenge of endogamy head on. He will demonstrate how he dealt with endogamy in his family history and identify general lessons that apply to all DNA research.
DNA results are especially complicated for Jews, who have largely 'married within the tribe' for hundreds of years—a practice known as endogamy.
This phenomenon, with variations, occurs in other populations including early American colonial.
In this presentation, Israel Pickholtz will tackle this challenge head on.
Since every family is different, rather than taking a 'how-to' approach, he will demonstrate how he dealt with endogamy in his family and identify general lessons that apply to all DNA research.
His goal is to inspire listeners and readers to say, 'I can do this!' Following the talk, copies of his book, ENDOGAMY: One Family, One People, will be available for purchase and signing.
