Ever wonder what AncestryDNA is all about? Have you created a family tree and want to try using DNA to expand it? Are you wondering if you need to trade in your lederhosen?

Genetic/Forensic Genealogist Cathy Ivins will present an Introductory DNA program to help you determine the right test and testing company for your specific wants and needs, whether you are a “Newbie” and need help understanding results or a “Wannabe” curious what a DNA test can do for you, including:
• Starting or expanding your Family Tree
• Finding cousins or other family members
• Connecting and collaborating with matches
• Learning your ethnicity predictions
• Helping to solve a biological family mystery
• Learning genetic predispositions or carrier risks
• Learning the difference between Autosomal DNA, Y-DNA and Mitochondrial DNA testing.
• Comparing the big 4 testing companies: AncestryDNA, 23andMe, FamilyTree DNA, and MyHeritage

Don’t worry – you do NOT need to know the science behind the test! Handouts will be available.

Cost: $5 at the door • FREE to current members of Bristol Twp. Senior Center
