	WHEREAS, Members of Texas DNA and Adoptee Search Support are

	day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Established on April 17, 2015, to promote DNA
	education and direct-to-consumer DNA testing, Texas DNA and Adoptee
	Search Support represents the interest of Texans concerned with
	accuracy in recording their own genealogical origins; and
	WHEREAS, The group is composed of more than 1,600 members who
	were born in or have genealogical connections to the state of Texas;
	it is aligned with the International Society of Genetic Genealogy
	and its mission to advocate for and educate about the use of
	genetics as a tool for genealogical research, while also helping to
	build a supportive network for genetic genealogists; and
	WHEREAS, In its work to enhance the public's understanding of
	the use of DNA for genealogical purposes, the group conducts
	educational presentations for individuals, civic organizations,
	and genealogical societies; it is also a valuable resource for
	Texans looking to identifying their genetic origins, preserve their
	family history, and connect with newly discovered relatives; and
	WHEREAS, Texas DNA and Adoptee Search Support serves as a
	voice for those who seek to understand their heritage and encourage
	ethical practices in direct-to-consumer DNA testing, and the
	organization's legislative day provides a welcome opportunity to
	commend its membership for their dedicated efforts; now, therefore,
	be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize April 25, 2019, as Texas DNA and
	Adoptee Search Support Day at the State Capitol and extend to the
