SHENANDOAH — The Town of Shenandoah Museum and Welcome Center is excited to welcome back as a guest speaker, Robert Moore II, to address the related issues of genealogy and DNA testing at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6 at the museum.
A native of Page County, Moore is perhaps best known locally for his long-running “Heritage & Heraldry” column published in the Page News & Courier from 1997 to 2010, and other published works about Page County, including “Tragedy in the Shenandoah Valley”.
Since 2019, Moore has embarked on a study of ancestry as interpreted through DNA, most especially Y DNA. He is currently administrator and co-administrator of several online Y DNA projects, and travels annually to sites in Europe pursuing the backstory to findings in ancient DNA.
Moore’s topic at the Shenandoah Museum on Saturday, Sept. 6 will be “Origins/Ethnicity Results from DNA and the Advantages of Testing Y DNA“.
This is a free event.
The Town of Shenandoah Museum is located at 507 First Street, Shenandoah, VA 22849.
