UPCOMING MEETING
DNA in Irish Family History Saturday, February 15, 2025 At the Freeport Memorial Library
DNA testing can add significantly to one’s family history research. But it can also be confusing. Professional genealogist Claire Bradley joins the Irish Family History Forum (IFHF) to help unlock the mystery of DNA testing. She will explain the various types of tests available, with a special focus on autosomal DNA, and guide us through the language of DNA. Ms. Bradley will demonstrate how to use DNA tests to further your Irish ancestor research, discuss the ethics of testing, and examine the possibility of uncovering a family secret.
Our Speaker. Claire Bradley, Director of Irish Studies at the International Institute of Genealogical Studies, is a frequent speaker at family history and historical societies.
