Excel for Genetic Genealogists - Mark Thompson


Excel for Genetic Genealogists
Sometimes the problem is too big, too complicated, or has too many moving parts to be handled in any other tool.  If only Excel could speak genealogy a bit better!  
 
This engaging workshop will highlight genetic genealogy challenges that are well suited to Excel and some of the most useful and efficient approaches for handling them.    Key strategies will be highlighted for dealing with the curve balls that frustrate genealogists every day in their use of Excel.
 
Real world genetic genealogy challenges will be discussed, as will as a variety of approaches for dealing with them in Excel.  You will be able to immediately apply what you learn in this session to improve how you track and manage your genetic genealogy information.
 
At the end of this engaging session, you will be given a free Excel template to quickly get you on the right track with some of the most common uses of Excel in genetic genealogy.
