DNA and Genetic Genealogy

The DNA & Genetic Genealogy Special Interest Group meets at the Lenexa City Center Library at 8778 Penrose Lane, Lenexa, KS. Each meeting covers a DNA topic that is announced in advance. We use slides to help understand the websites, and the tools available to help understand your DNA matches.
