Genealogical Database Analysis Tool (GDAT) - Part 4: SAG User Group Meeting Summary and Resources


This post is the fourth in a series developed to support the Genealogical DNA Analysis Tool (GDAT) User Group at the Society of Australian Genealogists (SAG).  It does not replace the extensive user guide and help video tutorials already developed by the GDAT team.  Members of the User Group should always consult those resources first.

This page will be updated after each meeting, with links to various resources for the topic discussed.  

If you wish to join our group, you need to be a member of the Society of Australian Genealogists (SAG).  Refer to the SAG Events Calendar for more information.
