Book Reading Schedule – 2016

Trace Your Roots with DNA: Using Genetic Tests to Explore Your Family Tree – This is an excellent book covering both traditional and genetic genealogy. I recently read it again for a second time and thought –  “this would be a fun and profitable exercise to work through as a group!” So, I’m suggesting for those who are interested – to read through this book at the rate of one chapter every other week – and discuss it via our discussion group the following weeks as suggested in the below schedule. If you are like me, you will want to read it at a faster rate, many would have it read in less than a week. I think there would be value in reading it straight though and then reading it a second time as scheduled – insuring it would be fresh for discussion. I have a second reason for wanting to read this book as a group – as participants make comments and ask questions – this will aid us in setting the agenda for our Morrison-Q Gathering in July. So, I especially encourage all members planning to attend to take part in this exercise. Let me know if you have any questions or comments – and please let us know if you are planning to take part in this book read. I have placed a link below to make purchasing the book convienent. For those who want a Kindle version of the book – click the image of the book and you will have the option of choosing a Kindle version over a paperback. Note: Morrison-Q will receive a percentage of the cost of the book if you purchase via the link below.
