Preserving the Past for the Present

Today's Date -- September 15, 2007 

The St. Louis Genealogical Society will present “Putting the Genes in Your Genealogy” featuring Bennett Greenspan, President and CEO of FamilyTreeDNA. The workshop will be held on Saturday, October 13, 2007 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Viking Holiday Inn, 10709 Watson Road, St. Louis, Missouri.

Registration includes full-day workshop and lunch. The cost is $60 for St. Louis Genealogical Society members and $70 for non-members.  Mr. Greenspan will discuss both the deep anthropology and the recent genealogical information that you have stored within your DNA, from learning about the migratory patterns of your ancestors thousands of years ago to confirming your personal heritage within recent generations.

You will learn, in terms understandable to any non-science major:
• What DNA is,
• What DNA testing offers genealogists,
• How DNA testing can advance your knowledge of your ancestry,
• How to interpret results,
• And much more.
