January 7, 2019 - Merced County Genealogical Society MCGS is cordially inviting anyone who would like to know more about their own Family Tree to join us for our monthly meetings. Genealogy and DNA are becoming one of the three hottest hobbies, as we all are asking where did we come from? A February 2018 MIT Technology Review article states that more than 12 million people have taken a DNA test! Know that integrating your DNA with your family tree enhances accuracy, tree hints, and enjoyment with the thrills of finding more family members.
MCGS meetings: on the 3rd or 4th Saturday each month at the Merced County Library, Gracey Room, 2100 O Street in Merced CA. 95340, at 1:00 P.M. MCGS has been active from 1983, and each month, we have between 20-40 members and guests attending. MCGS has very knowledgeable and professional guest speakers, meetings are free to the public, plus we love having guests!
