SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 2018 Genealogy Society to discuss what do to with DNA results After receiving the results from one of the several DNA testing options now available, many people are unsure of what to do next or how to use those results to learn more about their genealogy. To explore answers to these and other questions, the Siuslaw Genealogy Society is hosting a one-day seminar Saturday, April 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Florence Events Center, with interna- tionally renowned speaker Emily Aulicino. Pre-registration is required and is available on the Siuslaw Genealogy Society blog at siuslawgenealogy.org. The seminar is $20 for members, $25 for non-mem- bers, plus $10 for a box lunch. Aulicino, a retired teacher, is the regional coordinator and speaker for the International Society of Genetic Genealogists (ISOGG) for Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and is the administrator of several DNA projects. She is also the author of “Genetic Genealogy: The Basics and Beyond” and COURTESY PHOTO Emily Aulicino “Memoing My Memories.” Her blog can be found at: w w w. g e n e a l e m - g e n e t i c genealogy.blogspot.com. Topics of the seminar will include: Getting the Most from Your Autosomal DNA test; You Have a DNA Match, Now What?; Writing Your Childhood and Family Memories; and DNA Success Stories. Aulicino spoke at “Who Do You Think You Are? Live in Birmingham” in England; Back To Our Past confer- ence in Dublin, Ireland; Frankfurt, Germany; Southern California Genealogical Society’s Jamboree; RootsTech; and attends Who Do You Think You Are?

Children are born in a state of potentiality rather than of either goodness or sin. “The hearts of all children are of the utmost purity,” ‘Abdu’l-Bahá states. “They are mirrors upon which no dust has fallen.” The child’s unsullied heart is not a blank slate, however. Possessing both a spiritual and a material nature, the one attuned to God and the other to the material world, the child is born with an indi- vidual temperament and with spiritual and intellectual capacities for develop- ing virtues, abilities, and tal- ents. Thus no child is inherently bad or inherently good. Children manifest the natural variation of capacity among human beings. “This difference does not imply good or evil,” ‘Abdu’l- Bahá states, “but is simply a difference of degree.” Bring your thoughts on the subject for open discussion. The gathering will end at 8 p.m. with prayers for the requests left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Playhouse and those shared by the group. Meetings are held at 875 Seventh St. in Florence. For more information call Suzanne Mann-Heitz at 541- 590-0779. Unitarians look into Palm Sunday traditions March 25 is Palm Sunday in the Christian tradition, and the Florence Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will be honoring the beginning of the process that led to the crucifixion and resurrection of the man known as Jesus. This is also the week before Passover, one of the most important holy days in the Jewish tradition. The Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller will lead the worship service from 10 until 11 a.m. and will share how both stories rely on ancient Hebrew tradi- tions and tales — and both profoundly affect the thoughts, feelings and actions of millions of people today. Florence Unitarian Uni- versalist Fellowship, 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road, is wheelchair accessible. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dia- logue circle to explore the questions that come up dur- ing each worship service.
