We had a great DNA Interest Group meeting yesterday - lots of questions and discussion!
And a great presentation on Autosegment Split - Gedmatch's new tool to sort your matches into maternal and paternal. Definitely worth watching.

Whilst there is some negativity around the new OS versions, now they have finally dropped for the masses, I find them fresh, fun and have enjoyed them for months. I think CarPlay looks almost brand new and is underrated. And my friends think iOS 26 looks and feels great, so interesting times.
