About the Program
You’ve seen them on the news - genetic genealogists, sometimes called “DNA Search Angels” are identifying remains, solving crimes, helping adoptees to identify their biological parents and family medical history, clearing up family stories, identifying the surnames of ancestors whose last name was always “____” in your tree, and breaking down brick walls that withstood traditional genealogical methods.
Join Kate Penney Howard, as she gives a brief overview of how genetic genealogy works, and she’ll share some highlights from adoption and brick wall cases. Attendees will also receive a reference guide explaining how YOU can apply these techniques to your own genealogical research.
