DNA PROGRAM:
Have you taken a DNA test? Are you now wondering how to understand it and what you can do with it? Perhaps you are trying to identify your great-grandparents. Or you might see a close DNA match you don't recognize. There is more to your DNA results than your ethnicity. Join us for a peek into what DNA can do to locate lost ancestors. Thursday, September 17th, at 6 p.m. at the Columbia County Historical and Genealogical Society at 50 West Main Street presented by Dani Crossley."
