     A recent article about search trends on Google indicates that DNA, as it relates to genealogy, has become one of the most popular searches in the past two years. It's obvious that genealogists are looking for new ways to expand their family history research by using this technology! Using DNA in this way may help to break down brick walls, find elusive ancestors, learn about family ethnicity, identify biological parents and siblings, connect with living relatives, and more.

     On 27 October 2018, Blaine Bettinger, nationally-known genetic genealogist, speaker, and author, presented an all-day seminar on everything you need to know about DNA and genealogy.

     Links to General Genetic Genealogy information are listed below, but this list is not intended to be comprehensive. There are many websites that have useful information, but there are too many to list here. You can use Google (or your favorite search engine) and search for: Genetic Genealogy -- to find more!
