SUMMARY:Cemetery Preservation with PAAC Junior
DESCRIPTION:Dig into the past in this hands-on cemetery preservation workshop with PAAC Junior. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a hands-on technical workshop in cemetery preservation with PAAC Junior! Workshop participants will learn to use Google Earth to locate cemeteries and the basics of family history research to track an ancestor through their life.  This workshop is best suited to tweens and teens with some familiarity with computers and an interest in family history. Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend as well! Laptops will be provided for workshop use.  PAAC Junior\, established in 2009\, aims to train youth in becoming advocates working to increase public awareness and activism in preserving\, protecting\, documenting\, and restoring endangered and forgotten historic cemeteries\, writing the significant histories of those interred\, and publishing their findings through modern technology to youth and adults around the state of Arkansas.  \n\n\n\nAs with all elements of our historic past\, traditions are kept alive because they are passed down from generation to generation. But somewhere along the way\, the tradition of involving our youth in the commitment and dedication to the upkeep of our family gravesites has been lost. The PAAC Junior Preservation Society is in place to ensure that the stories of our forefathers will be told and that the resting place of their ancestors will be preserved and not lost to vandals\, abandonment\, or developers.  \n\n\n\nThrough technological tools\, the world can view the plight of Arkansas Cemeteries under the leadership of PAAC/PAAC Junior Preservation Society.

SUMMARY:DNA Oddities: Uncovering the Strange Truths of Genetic Research
DESCRIPTION:Scott Lee\n\n\n\nDNA and biological reproduction are more complex than most people realize. Misunderstandings about how DNA is inherited can lead to false assumptions and confusing\, seemingly contradictory results. This presentation reveals fascinating and little-known facts about DNA that are crucial for interpreting unexpected genetic findings. Topics include: the importance of centimorgans\, DNA crossovers\, vanishing twin syndrome\, chimeras\, and the impact of endogamy. Technical details and jargon will be kept to a minimum\, making these concepts accessible to all. \n\n\n\nThis is a Kitchen Roundtable presentation and discussion hosted by the Arkansas Genealogical Society. For more programs in this series\, check the AGS website. \n\n\n\nThis evening’s presenter is Scott Lee\, a retired software engineer who has researched his family history since 1979.
