Andrew McKnight

Part 2 of 2 about how to learn about our military heritage. I'll share some stories and tips on researching our ancestors who gave all in service of their country during the 20th century on June 6th, the anniversary of D-Day. I'll play a song or two from the new project, share a little advice from what I learned, and take a few questions too.

Drawing on his extensive experience researching his own family through records and DNA testing, Andrew weaves music about - and by! - his ancestors into an interactive, enlightening and highly entertaining 1-hour program. He melds his unique gifts as a musician and storyteller together with his scientific background to take a unique approach to finding, recording and sharing one's vital family "ancestories". While he shares useful basic techniques and tips about using DNA that anyone interested in family research will find valuable, he also imparts a deeper appreciation for the unique miracle of each person and their genetic blueprint with warmth and humor.

Andrew wraps up a weekend of great family history activities and workshops with a ticketed concert. This is the only Family History Day event that requires tickets - thank you so much for your support!

The 26th annual Mountville Folk Festival! There is always a great lineup of artists, plus camping and late night song circles. Like an outdoor house concert on steroids! Make your plans to be in northern Virginia the last weekend of June. Convenient to Dulles Airport.
