Getting the Most from Your DNA Ancestry Test

Wednesday, December 28, starts at 12:00 p.m. (Zoom program)

Many people will receive DNA test kits as holiday gifts, but most of them will never experience the full array of features and benefits that come with their test results. Paul Boncella provides an overview of DNA testing basics, a guide to setting up your account for full access, a preview of what you can expect to find in the results, and suggestions on how you can optimize your DNA ancestry experience. This program is virtual via Zoom. Call 205-226-3665 for more information. 

All open BPL locations have free Holiday Happenings Booklets that patrons can take with them and you can also find the PDF online. Check out our calendar to see what other programs we offer.
