You will learn about what DNA can and cannot do to assist you in discovering and understanding your ancestors. The class will discuss the types of DNA tests that are offered by the testing companies, and what each type of test will do. This will allow you to select the company and test which best fits your family history goals. In the spring of 2020, a follow up class will be offered to help you understand how to use the results of your DNA test.======
