Genetic Genealogy
Are you curious about what DNA testing and research can do for your genealogy? Have you been thinking testing but just weren't sure what you'd be getting back? Those interested in using DNA to supplement their genealogy research have the opportunity to listen to Debra Nowell of the Franklin County Genealogical Society present an "Introduction to Genetic Genealogy." This free workshop will be in the auditorium at the Main Library downtown on Saturday, February 6th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. More detail can be found here. If you're interested in attending, be sure to call us at (614) 645-2275 to register, or use the online registration form.
