Genetic Genealogy Workshop – Saturday, August 11, 8:30 am – 4 pm

The Madison County Genealogical Society has been given a unique opportunity by Winterset alum, MCGS member, and DNA enthusiast Glenn York . He has arranged to visit from Colorado to teach us how genetic information can further your family research.

Glenn contacted us months ago with the proposal that he would take a road trip back to his roots in Madison County and put on a class as a fund-raiser for the Madison County Genealogical Society. Since retirement, Glenn has concentrated his time in studying DNA as it pertains to genealogy. He has attended conferences, hangs out with the “big names,” and won awards. For a recent award, see Jimmy B. Parker Scholarship Awarded for SLIG 2019. Read more…
