Description: A native of Page County, Robert Moore is perhaps best known locally for his long-running Heritage & Heraldry column (1997-2010) for the Page News & Courier and published works about Page County, to include Tragedy in the Shenandoah Valley. Since 2019, he has embarked on a study of ancestry as interpreted through DNA, and most especially Y DNA. He is currently administrator and co-administrator of several online Y DNA projects, and travels annually to sites in Europe pursuing the backstory to findings in ancient DNA. Mr. Moore’s topic will be Origins/Ethnicity Results from DNA and the Advantages of Testing Y DNA.
