| Genealogy sleuths use DNA testing to reveal their roots |
| ...With a swab of his cheek and $139, Donald Woodworth hopes to uncover a piece of family history: the Michigan resident just might be related to Walter Woodworth, one of Scituate?s first settlers.
Birth and death records already point to a link between the two men but the cheek swab, says Woodworth?s wife Sherrye, will clinch it.
Scores of genealogy sleuths like those descended from Woodworth are using DNA testing to find out if they not only share a surname, but a Y-chromosome, too. At least a dozen companies sell DNA kits designed to help families move beyond the paper trail to discover new branches of their family tree.

| Genealogy society opens library |
| ...Everyone has a connection to the past: family.
For Donna Smith, 69, of Everett, that connection leads to Scotland.

| Archives preserve treasures of information |
| ...History seems palpable within the walls of the Lauderdale County Department of Archives and History.
Perhaps it's the thick smell of aged paper in the air. Maybe it's the glass-encased relics from eras long since passed, or the stacked rows of centuries-old marriage records stretching across the remnants of an old hotel ballroom.
