DNA Stories

What can DNA tell you about your ancestors?

How does it help us to discover who they were and where they were from?

Join us at PRONI for a day of DNA stories and advice. Take a DNA test (special show prices available) and be part of the story.

Free entry and no need to book.

 

Featuring:

11am to 4pm Get Help!

DNA experts will be available to advise you how to start your own DNA story. And if you have already done a DNA test, bring your questions to get answers!

 

1pm How your chromosomes tell your story.

Martin McDowell from the North of Ireland Family History Society will illustrate what you can learn about your ancestors from a simple cheek swab.

 

2.15pm We know who you are, Lynda Bryans!!

Lynda is a well known and highly regarded tv presenter and journalist who was born in Belfast. She has agreed to take a DNA test and to allow NIFHS to research her family tree.

Watch what happens when we introduce her ancestors to her for the first time in front of a live audience!
