Join us for a workshop about using DNA in your family history research! Tickets are $10 in advance or at the door. (NOTE: Participants of the Orphan Train Celebration taking place that weekend are automatically registered for this workshop, and tickets are included in that registration.)
We’ll be hearing from two “experts” who have used DNA to discover parts of their family tree.
Larry Blochlinger, a Concordia adoptee, used DNA to find his birth parents and connect with some of his biological cousins.
Greg Markway is a descendant of an orphan train rider and runs the Facebook group “Orphan Train DNA”. Greg used DNA to uncover his orphan train rider’s story and learn more about his family history. He’s helped many other do the same!
