DNA Discoveries: The DNA Painter Toolbox With Jonny Perl

This DNA Discovery event is the second in a series of three, following on from Blaine Bettinger's session. Hosted by Auckland Libraries and proudly sponsored by Ancestry AU, The Patient Genie, Wellington Research Services and Memories in Time.

Come and spend an evening chatting with some of your favourite DNA and Family History speakers, Angie Bush, Blaine T Bettinger (USA) and Jonny Perl (UK) at Auckland Public Libraries Ellen Melville Hall from 6pm on Friday 3 April 2020.

Cost of entry is finger food to share before and after the lecture. Let's show our visitors some Kiwi hospitality.

The evening kicks off with mixing and mingling from 6pm. Tea, coffee and soft drink will be provided.

From 7:30pm, Jonny Perl will present a talk entitled The DNA Painter Toolbox. Not only will you meet the developer of the DNA painter website, you will also hear the story behind its development and why the tools are useful in working with your DNA results. After the talk, a cuppa and supper will close the evening. There will be time for selfies and book signing.

Don't forget to book in for Angie Bush's DNA Testing and the Unknown Biological Family on Monday 6 April, 1pm.
