The
collaborated presentation between GSHA and the Pueblo Public Library,
Libby Copeland's book " The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is
Upending Who We Are" has
been rescheduled to Thursday, January 28th. More details to follow.
On Saturday, January 28, at 2:00 a.m PST,. the Pueblo City County Library in partnership with the Genealogical Society of Hispanic America will have a joint presentation with national author, Libby Copeland, who recently published, The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are, published by Abrams Press. The presentation will explore the cultural phenomenon of DNA testing which is redefining genealogy and family history, its implications for what we think about family and ourselves, and its ramifications and reality that people who get tested may discover.
The New York Times writes, “Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” The book draws on Libby Copeland’s years of research on this topic. With more than 35 million people tested, a tipping point has been reached. Virtually all Americans are affected whether they have been tested or not, and millions have been impacted by significant revelations in their immediate families. The Washington Post also says The Lost Family “reads like an Agatha Christie mystery” and “wrestles with some of the biggest questions in life: Who are we? What is family? Are we defined by nature, nurture or both?”
As more or our members get tested and more results get analyzed, this is a very timely book that will help all ethnicities who embark one step beyond the paper trail. Join us.
We will get the link to All GSHA members by January 26 for the 2:00 p.m. PST program on Thursday, January 28. For those of you who can't join us a link will be sent to see it on Youtube at a later time. If you wish to see it live, Please contact gsha.vp@gshaa.org and note the event.
