Welcome to the Not Old Better Show Backstory Genealogy Series sponsored by DNA Bargans.

I'm your host Paul Vogelzang and this is episode number 207.

As part of our backstory genealogy series, joining us again today is one of our favorite

guests, genealogy expert Thomas McKenty.

Thomas McKenty is back with some excellent tips, advice,

and first-hand expertise on the importance of who, what, when, and where you get

your DNA testing done?

Just I think it's important in terms of not only family history,

but we're getting more into the health aspect.

People are more and more aware of DNA and health.

So that's why I think it's important to me. I think it's important

to the genealogy business as well. That of course is our guest today, Thomas

McKenty. Thomas McKenty, of course, is a well-known genealogy instructor, leader, author, and sought after

speaker on the subject of family history.

Please join me in welcome to the Not Old Better Show via Internet Phone, Thomas McKenty Thomas McKenty.

Thomas McKenty, as always, it's such a pleasure to talk to you, but welcome to the show.

Yeah, well, this is an important time.

You know, we're talking kind of mid-April coming up here, of course, is going to be National DNA day, an important day in the industry, important to you for a lot of reasons and so what what do you share with

us the importance of national DNA day what it means to you? Well I'm kind of a

nerd when it comes to quirky holidays I think you've discussed this. I mean if it's bubble wrap appreciation day I'm going to celebrate it. I think Animal Cracker Day is coming up soon and you know it's just it's kind of that fun trivia trivia, nerdy kind of thing.
