Are you curious about what your DNA can tell you about your family history? Do you have a family story you’re curious about? Maybe you have taken a DNA test and now have no idea what to do with the information! This presentation will guide you through the DNA testing process for genealogy by teaching you the basics of autosomal DNA testing, what it can and cannot tell you, and how you can meet others who share ancestry with you.
Registration is preferred. Register with Megan at mzimmerman@alexlibraryva.org.
