Program Description

Details

Presented by the library’s Special Collections staff and members of the Ranger Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), these events are free, open to the public, and appropriate for all levels of interest and experience. All levels will learn something new!


Have you done a DNA test and you’re not sure about what the results mean? Or, are you not sure whether to do a DNA test? What would the benefits be when you’ve already done a thorough paper trail? Maybe you were adopted and would like some help looking for biological relatives. Then this is the presentation for you.

Registration is required. Open to all levels.
