About the event

Genealogy Club: Using DNA to Identify Enslaved Ancestors

Reconstructing the lineage of enslaved ancestors presents unique challenges due to the involuntary separations that severed family ties and records that rarely identified the enslaved by surnames. Learn how to apply DNA standards to test results to establish genealogical proof of a genetic relationship.

This program is a Zoom webinar format. A reminder will be sent an hour before the event.
