Through courses, workshops, and publications, IGG promotes best practices in genetic genealogy, helping both beginners and experienced researchers leverage DNA data to enhance their family history investigations. It aims to bridge the gap between genetics and traditional genealogy, fostering a deeper understanding of our shared heritage.
