Along with guided tours, the Indiana Medical History Museum does hosts events. Among those for October is a presentation by Bradley Marchant on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at 5:30 p.m., which is part of the Forensic Science Lecture Series. Bradley Marchant, a Genetic Genealogist with the Indiana State Police, will discuss the evolution of genealogy from a past to the present, and how it is used in law enforcement today.
Imagine That! While at a flea market, young, Bradley Marchant, discovered old photographs from the 1940’s among the objects. Curious, he decided to find out where they came from, which inspired his love for genealogy.
