Happy DNA Day! Many of you are very excited by the idea of celebrating and learning more about your DNA. Others might be thinking, “DNA Day? What do people do to celebrate DNA Day?” National DNA Day was initially held on April 25 to celebrate the Human Genome Project but has since become a global movement to innovate, collaborate, and discover more about DNA. It is also a day to celebrate our shared humanity and connection to the natural world!
RootsTech, an online learning site and yearly genealogy conference, has a lot to offer for anyone wanting to learn about DNA, preparing to take a DNA test, or wanting to find out what DNA can reveal about themselves or their heritage. Experts from around the globe and from various organizations give free classes, handouts and more at RootsTech.

On April 25 of 2023, RootsTech will have a whole day of DNA learning from 9 am–6 pm MST directly on the RootsTech Facebook page. We will learn from DNA Expert Diahan Southard and others about DNA in genealogy. We are also excited to hear from a special group, DNAngels, which will share with us how they use DNA to find and unite families. You can see the full schedule here:
