Intro to Investigative Genetic Genealogy

For years, people have used ancestry and genetic testing to find more about themselves – their
heritage, their birth parents, a child they’ve given up for adoption, even predictions about
predisposition to health conditions. The advent of current day direct-to-consumer testing
companies now provides a convenient way for individuals to access their genetic information
from the comfort of their own homes.

To illustrate the relationships among individuals, a genealogist traditionally combines DNA
analysis with results obtained through public record searches to build out family trees. This
technique is not new. What has recently come under great scrutiny, however, is the way this
information is currently being utilized by law enforcement to identify criminal suspects in
unsolved or cold cases.


Upon completion of this 8 hour course, the student will become familiar with:

  • The differences between ancestry, familial searches, forensic genealogy, investigative genetic genealogy (IGG)
  • DNA and why it’s so valuable to the forensic investigation
  • Current terminology: STR analysis, sequencing, SNPs, CODIS, informed consent Genotyping vs Phenotyping
  • Candidate cases for IGG: unidentified human remains, criminal investigations
  • Steps involved when using IGG to identify a person of interest
  • Popular direct-to-consumer companies and their policies for addressing law enforcement requests
  • Ethical issues, privacy issues, 4th Amendment rights
  • Misconceptions, ramifications and limitations
  • Major cold cases that have been solved using IGG
