Mahwah Museum

Are you ready to break through your genealogical brick walls? DNA testing has radically changed the way we research family history, offering powerful tools to scientifically prove relationships and locate distant relatives. Join Cathy Moran Hajo for "Using DNA Testing for Genealogy," a comprehensive session designed to help you start using DNA testing to navigate the "gene pool." &nbsp;This talk covers everything you need to know to get started, from "DNA 101" and basic terminology to choosing the right testing company to explore your heritage. You will learn how to interpret shared DNA segments, use advanced tools like GEDMATCH, and navigate important privacy and ethical considerations. Whether you are an adoptee searching for your birth family or a seasoned researcher looking to connect your tree with others, discover why DNA is the single most important tool available to expand your research today. Jump on in—the water’s fine!&nbsp;
About the speaker: Cathy Moran Hajo, Ph.D., is the Museum's vice president and archives director. She is a historian who specializes in women's history, archives, and digital humanities.

Mahwah Museum Hosts “Les Paul 111th Birthday Celebration: The Les Paul &amp; Mary Ford Tribute Show with Tom &amp; Sandy Doyle” on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 2:00 pm
Mahwah, NJ – Raise a toast to a legend. Celebrate Les Paul’s 111th birthday with an unforgettable Les Paul &amp; Mary Ford Tribute performed live by Tom &amp; Sandy Doyle on June 7 at 2:00 p.m. Cake will be served as we toast the birthday.
This isn’t a standard tribute set—it’s an inside-the-music afternoon with two artists who know the story firsthand. Stick around for a 30-minute audience Q&amp;A and ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask about Les—his sound, his inventions, and the nights that made music history.
About Tom Doyle: World-renowned luthier, sound engineer, and master guitarist, Tom Doyle served as Les Paul’s personal guitar technician, live-sound engineer, and close confidant for over 45 years from the mid-1960s until Les’s passing in 2009. He was the trusted hand behind Les’s instruments and experiments, and a key part of the legendary NYC residencies at Fat Tuesday’s and the Iridium.
