Tuesday, March 19, 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., Orcas Library

— from Kathi Ciskowski —

The Orcas Island Genealogy Club is free and open to anyone who is interested in exploring family genealogy–whether you have years of experience or are just wanting to begin now, you are welcome to join. The monthly meetings happen on the third Tuesday of the month in the library Community Meeting Room from 10:30-12:30. The next meeting is on March 19, 2019. Bring a computer or other device that can connect to the internet.

The topic for the March meeting, presented by Rebecca Johnson, is DNA: Maximizing DNA results for targeted genealogy research.

Have you or a family member ever had your DNA tested or wondered about the benefits of testing? Genetic genealogy is an exciting field, and the benefits of DNA far exceed ethnicity reports. Please join us for an in-depth look at DNA basics and discover how to use DNA as a foundation for your genealogy research.
