Heritage Highlights: DNA - why test?

Join us for a panel discussion with librarians who have had their DNA tested for family history research.

We will cover a number of aspects to do with DNA testing, its pros and cons, and our panellists will share their varied personal experiences.

While we are not scientists or experts on DNA, we hope our experiences can provide you with an idea of what you may or may not be able to find out with DNA testing.

Afterwards, we are all happy to talk further informally over a cup of tea. So, stick around afterwards for a chat!
