The JGS of Greater Washington will host Family Tree DNA founder Bennett Greenspan on Sunday, May 6, in Rockville, Maryland.
At 1.30 p.m., he will speak on "The Role of DNA in Advancing Genealogical Research," and demonstrate how DNA is used in genealogical research, how family relationships are determined, highlight the science involved, what can be tested and learned, and address the future of DNA testing.
At 3.30 p.m., Greenspan will meet with JGSGW DNA Project participants for a Q&A. Members are encouraged to bring test results and questions.
An entrepreneur and life-long genealogy enthusiast, Greenspan recognized the value of and potential for genetic genealogy when he encountered a paper trail roadblock in his own research, and turned to molecular anthropology to find an answer to his dilemma. In 1999, he founded Family Tree DNA, turning his hobby into a full-time vocation.
