Maine Gaeltacht DNA project – MIHC

Administered by volunteers at the Maine Irish Heritage Center, this is a community-based genetic genealogy project set up in the Fall of 2011 using FamilyTreeDNA tests. I was one of only a few assigned project Administrators for the Maine Gaeltacht DNA project for the first several years (2012-2016). In this capacity, I recruited and swabbed countless participants, managed member project kits and profiles on the back-end, assisted participants with understanding how it works, helped review and interpret their results, and explained how to use the results in conjunction with traditional paper genealogy. I initiated and maintained contact with other FTDNA project Admins and DNA Conference Coordinators, and created and managed the project’s content and participant data. This work included organizing participants’ paper genealogies into a backup hard-copy file system that I also made. I created the Keynote for the 2015 Genetic Genealogy Ireland Conference in Dublin. I was unable to attend, so another volunteer genealogist with the Center graciously agreed to present in my place.

IHC Portland DNA project

Encouraged the leadership of the Italian Heritage Center in Portland to start their own community-based ancestry DNA project on FamilyTreeDNA. Founded in 2015, I was a volunteer project Admin to help get their project off the ground. I stayed aboard for about a year. I provided complimentary Intro to DNA talks at their center for their members who wish to learn more about it – how it works and interpret results, and how to use it in conjunction with traditional genealogy.
