(Johnston, IA) -- More and more people are tracing their family history using DNA.
The Iowa Genealogical Society is holding a workshop on the subject this coming Saturday.
Dennis Allen volunteers with IGS and says some people just want to know what their ethnicities are but other people do it to try and figure out how they are related to another person.
Allen says old fashioned paper searching is the tried and true method of finding the past, even with DNA.
Allen will be presenting at the event along with two other speakers.
There is a fee involved to participate in the session.
