    This talk explains the principles behind Y chromosome and Mitochondrial DNA tests for genealogy, how to interpret the results and how they can be used for genealogy. Find out what specific test to order, how to verify relationships between individuals with the same surname and help verify that elusive female ancestor. The lecture will be presented by Thomas H. Shawker, M.D., chairman of the National Genealogical Society’s Committee on Genetic Genealogy and author of Unlocking Your Genetic History. Cost includes a one-day admission to HSP's research library.
