The Cheshire Public Library will present Genealogy and DNA on Wednesday, May 20, at 7:00 p.m. This program will explore how DNA studies can help you find your ancestors. The lecturer, Nora Galvin, is a professional genealogist and a former laboratory scientist with extensive experience working with DNA. She brings a scientist’s intrinsic curiosity and attention to detail to her genealogical research.
