OF FEBRUARY MEETING
“Do You Know the Way to DNA?” will be the topic of the
Cheyenne Genealogical and Historical Society’s free
program on Tuesday, February 14 in the Sunflower
Room of the Laramie County Library in Cheyenne.
Program presenter Elaine Jones Hayes will discuss how and why to use DNA test results in family history research
including what is DNA, types of DNA tests useful
for genealogists, how much they cost, the types of
questions that can be answered, how the tests are
done and what results look like, and she will give
examples of some surname studies, and how researchers
have used these tests.
Hayes is the Special Collections Librarian for the
Laramie County Library, an active member of the
Cheyenne Genealogical & Historical Society, and
she teaches local genealogy classes. The CGHS
