This talk continues where our January program left off and will focus on how DNA can be used as a tool to enhance family history. In particular, how we can use DNA to link families together and discover new details about our ancestors. It will also give detailed examples of families who lived in the Palatine region of Germany, as well as Swiss-Germans who settled in the Palatinate for several generations from the mid-1600s to mid-1700s before immigrating to Pennsylvania.

Our presenter, Darvin L Martin, has been passionate about family history since his youth and began to explore ways to use DNA testing to solve family history puzzles since these tests were first offered more than twenty years ago.
