Speaker in Perham to talk about DNA and genealogy

This summer, the Friends of the History Museum of East Otter Tail County is hosting several workshops and lectures about family history and cultural heritage.

On Sunday, July 1 at 3 p.m., Pastor Phil Holtan will present “DNA Research as a Tool for Genealogy”. Holtan will present how DNA research can be used in two ways in genealogy, to discover your “deep ancestry” and to find common ancestors. Both ways can greatly enhance your understanding of your family roots and can take you back far further in history than any other method.

This event is free and open to the public but reservations are requested. The History Museum located at 230 First Avenue North, Perham. In the event of a larger than anticipated number of reservations the event may be moved to a bigger space. To reserve a space or for additional information, call (218)346-7676 or e-mail museum@eot.com.
