DNA and genealogy - what DNA tests can reveal about your family tree

This course has no current classes. Please the waiting list.

Millions of people around the globe are enthusiastically charting their bloodlines. Genealogy has become a cultural phenomenon! Join Genealogist Mike Murray in our upcoming seminar and learn what DNA tests can reveal about your family tree. We all have two family trees – one that we can build up from family stories and genealogical records, and another that’s hidden within your DNA. Easy access to inexpensive DNA testing is revealing family secrets, breaking down stubborn brick walls. What if there are unexpected results and your two family trees don’t agree with each other?


Discover a new approach to genealogy in this fascinating workshop.
