An mtDNA Find Proves a Mayflower Line Saturday, March 7, 2020

Knowing whom to ask for a specific DNA sample and which test to use makes a difference in analyzing results. Michael Dwyer will show how mtDNA solved the mystery of an ancestor married in 1776. Without DNA evidence, her identity would have been lost to history. He will also share other works in progress using other DNA test results.

Michael Dwyer is a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists and editor of Vermont Genealogy. Classes run from 10:30 to noon and cost $10.00. We are open for research Tuesdays 3 to 9:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 to 4. The library is located on Hegeman Ave, Fort Ethan Allen, Colchester.
