Lancaster Family History Conference: Deep Roots—Using DNA to Unlock Your Family’s Ancient Past

Our 33rd annual event for genealogists and family historians. Keynote by scientist Darvin L. Martin, plus more than a dozen seminars. DNA is a chemical found in the cells of every living organism. It acts like a chemical blueprint, telling those cells how to reproduce. Human DNA is 99.9% identical from person to person. But, after testing hundreds of thousands of individuals, scientists can trace tiny variations in human DNA to particular places and people groups around the world.
