Tracking DNA clues to Discover a Birth Mother”
is a free, educational program presented by the Cheyenne Genealogical &
Historical Society on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, in the Sunflower Room
of the Laramie County Library in Cheyenne. The gathering starts
at 6:15 p.m. with a short business meeting
followed by the program, which begins promptly at 6:45 p.m.
Glenn York, a genealogy researcher, teacher and lecturer will outline a case-
study of a female who was adopted at birth in the early 1950s, and discuss the steps
used to analyze her DNA matches, and how those matches and family tree
information were used to identify her birth mother and her birth father’s family.
Clues from this case-study may be used to facilitate one’s own DNA tracking.
York, from Larimer County, has been doing genealogy research for over 35
years and is currently focused on genetic genealogy and related technology. He
facilitates the monthly DNA study group for the Larimer County Genealogical
Society and manages DNA tests with all major testing companies for over 35
different family members. He holds a bachelor’s degree in social science and a
master’s degree in telecommunications, is past-president of the Larimer County
Genealogical Society, and is a member of the Association of Professional
Genealogists, Genealogical Speakers Guild and other genealocal societies. He
teaches genealogical classes and volunteers to help people with their family history
research at the Fort Collins Public Library.
