Join us for a presentation from Melvin J. Collier, who will discuss how the results of DNA can help you correct your family trees and genealogical connections.

This month, he'll use the case of his 3X-great-grandmother to demonstrate how critical thinking, facts collection, and historical analysis are vital while employing the methodologies of slave ancestral research. You’ll learn how to effectively utilize genetic genealogy with your genealogy research to help uncover the facts.
