Clayton Library Friends Annual Meeting

Saturday, November 10, 2018

Registration 10:15, Meeting 10:30

The annual meeting will include a vote on new and returning board members followed by speaker

Our featured speaker is Mr. Bennett Greenspan. He will be presenting: Genetic Genealogy, It’s Past, Present, and Future!!

Mr. Greenspan founded FamilyTree DNA which was the first American company to offer genealogical DNA testing directly to the general public. He is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of FamilyTree DNA and he is also the managing partner of Family Tree DNA’s parent company, Gene by Gene. Mr. Greenspan is also the project administrator of several surname DNA projects, and regularly lectures on the use of genetics in genealogy.

Founded in 2000, FamilyTreeDNA pioneered the field of genetic genealogy—the use of DNA testing to establish relationships between individuals and determine ancestry. As leaders in the industry, they provide advanced technology for users to gain further insight into their family history—all with a simple swab of DNA. Over 2 million people have tested with FamilyTreeDNA, resulting in the most comprehensive DNA matching database in the industry.
