Tuesday 17th February 2026 7.30pm - 9.00pm (Zoom sign-in from 7.15pm)
Dorset Family History Society is hosting a Zoom Meeting with Steve Manning talking on DNA for Family Historians.
This talk aims to help those of us who may be confused by the scientific mumbo-jumbo surrounding DNA! To help us gain a better understanding Steve uses real-world examples to illustrate how DNA can supplement and widen your existing family history research.
Currently the Chairman of the Family History Federation, Steve’s interest in family history began whilst he was still a teenager. Unsurprisingly, his level of activity waxed and waned over the years as work and family needs took priority, but that early enthusiasm never dimmed. Looking back with the wisdom of years, he acknowledges much of his early research had serious shortcomings - but he has absolutely no regrets about having started out so young.
