March DAR Meeting and Program

In recent years, DNA has become widely recognized as a powerful genealogical tool—a molecular hammer than can smash brick walls. In 2014, DAR began accepting Y-DNA as supporting evidence in membership applications. Imagine being able to find that elusive ancestor, the one that seems to be in the witness protection program. Imagine being able to target your research to a specific group of people with a very common surname, separating “your” Smiths from the “other” Smiths. Join us as we dive into DNA with our special guest Kristen Lowe-Bartell, NSDAR NW Division Vice Chair, Volunteer Genealogists and OSSDAR State Registrar. Program begins at 11:00am. DAR is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization which has promoted historic preservation, education and patriotism since its formation in 1890.
