You can watch the short presentation here: youtu.be/P2uHRByyVpc

Anne and Martin, some of our DNA team at the The Gobbins Craft Fair, Islandmagee last Saturday. This image is the calm before the storm as they had a very busy day and sold lots of DNA kits. Lots more North of Ireland DNA into the database - well done to Anne and Martin and to those who tested!!
