The Future of Genealogy

with Jarrett Ross

In this talk, Jarrett Ross will discuss his views on the future of genealogy by reviewing the tools and technology being developed today, which may have a big impact on the future of genealogy and genetic genealogy. This talk will discuss AI, Facial Recognition Software, low SNP artifact DNA testing, and much more.


Jarrett Ross, also known as the GeneaVlogger, has successfully connected with thousands of relatives all over the World, helped build hundreds of trees for people of varying ancestral backgrounds, and has worked on hundreds of genealogical projects of varying types. Jarrett has found a specialty in Genetic Genealogy and Sephardic Jewish research with an emphasis on the Portuguese Jewish Community of Amsterdam. Jarrett’s other main focuses of research are in Jewish Agricultural Societies of Southern New Jersey, Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry in the Pale of Settlement, Jews in America, and Jews in Ukraine. Jarrett spent just under 5 years working as the Lead Forensic Genealogist at DNA Labs International, helping create investigative leads to identify unknown human remains and perpetrators of violent crimes.
