“DNA 101: An Introduction to Genetic Genealogy” will be the subject of a talk given by Bessida Cauthorne White on Sunday, March 26, at 4:00 PM.

DNA is a powerful tool that can be used to augment traditional genealogical research. This presentation for beginners will include an explanation of basic genetic genealogy terms, the types of DNA testing that may be used for genealogical purposes, the DNA tests currently on the market, the type of information that they can provide, who should be tested, and the limitations of DNA testing.
