Program Description

Event Details

Did you know that there's a type of DNA that is only passed down from your mother and her mother and your grandmother's mother? This program from Genealogy Specialist and DNA Expert Mic Barnette will investigate mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) - a type of DNA which is passed down from your maternal ancestral line. Learn how to use this type of DNA test along with a little genealogical research to extend your family tree farther back on your maternal line.

This program is available both online via Zoom (register below) AND in-person at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library. Register here to attend the in-person session.
