Ethical Dilemmas in Genealogy. A GSBC Program. (online event) Online
Join us before the program for a GSBC General Meeting beginning at 1:30pm ET, where a prize drawing will be held for GSBC members only. The presentation will begin at 2:00pm ET.
"I'm just compiling our family tree, what can go wrong?" This session will discuss what ethics and morality mean, and what these have to do with genealogy. Ethical dilemmas in genealogy came to the forefront since law enfocement utilized information from GEDMatch to apprehend a suspected serial killer. This issues include exposing secrets and lies, and unexpected DNA results. Many people have to struggle through ethical dilemmas on their own, so attendees at this session will benefit from considering ethical issues with more empathy and sympathy.
Dr. Penny Walters lectures internationally in-person, presents webinars, writes artivles and has authored the books: Ethical Dilemmas in Genealogy and The Psychology of Searching. www.searchmypast.co.uk
