How Three Types of DNA and Genealogy Uncovered the Long-Lost Enslaved Father - free replay of today's webinar by Melvin J. Collier now available for limited time

How Three Types of DNA and Genealogy Uncovered the Long-Lost Enslaved Father - free replay of today's webinar by Melvin J. Collier now available for limited time

The recording of today's webinar by Melvin J. Collier, "How Three Types of DNA and Genealogy Uncovered the Long-Lost Enslaved Father" is now available to view at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com for free for a limited time.

Webinar Description

For over 25 years, oral history led Melvin Collier down the wrong road in the search for the father of his great-grandfather, Albert Kennedy (1857-1928) of Leake County, Mississippi. DNA was indeed providing great clues, but he initially attached them to the wrong ancestor. However, more autosomal DNA analysis, Y-DNA evidence, X-chromosome matching, and genealogy research revealed that the oral history had not been entirely true. This put Collier on the right road to discovery. Travel down this exciting genealogical road as Collier shows how DNA and genealogy led him to the identity and the story of his 2X-great grandfather. Ironically, he was born in northern Virginia, where Collier resides now, and was eventually taken to Sugartown, Louisiana during the Civil War. Lots of genealogy and genetic genealogy tips to be gained from this case.

Using DNA To Solve Interlinked Mysteries - free webinar by Michelle Leonard now available to view for limited time

Using DNA To Solve Interlinked Mysteries - free webinar by Michelle Leonard now available to view for limited time

The recording of today's webinar, "Using DNA To Solve Interlinked Mysteries" by Michelle Leonard is now available to view at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com for free for a limited time.

Webinar Description

Sometimes when trying to solve family mysteries using DNA, we discover that the best matches on the mystery line also have recent mysteries of their own and the connection between the two lies on their respective mystery lines. It’s exciting when there are close DNA matches on a mystery line but, equally, it can be frustrating if those matches also have recent blanks or brick walls and it’s tempting to treat these kinds of matches as dead ends. In this presentation, Michelle will outline some extraordinary case studies where multiple mysteries linked together and only by investigating them all could answers ultimately be uncovered. She will demonstrate the best techniques for navigating these tricky situations and provide her top hints and tips for working with interlinked mysteries. Often if you can solve one interlinked mystery, you can solve them all!
