In order to successfully use DNA testing for genealogy, however, it’s essential to combine it with traditional research. This presentation will concentrate on several in-depth case studies that demonstrate what can be achieved when you combine long-established research methods with DNA test results. These case studies will cover verification of family tree lines, the breaking of brick walls, the testing of hypotheses and the solving of hitherto unfathomable mysteries.” Click HERE to register for FREE – via Legacy Family Tree Webinars

- LAST DAY! Ancestry: Get FREE ACCESS to over 400,000 yearbooks at Ancestry! This week, August 27th through September 2nd, Ancestry is opening up its Yearbook Collection: “Yearbooks are one of those home sources, usually found in an attic or basement, which many people don’t think of as a family history source. While yearbooks may not provide information about the vital events that are usually associated with genealogical research, they do provide other information about individuals’ lives. This information helps place people in historical context as well as provides detail that helps turn individuals, sometimes only known by names and dates, into actual people.” VIEW DETAILS
*Users will be able to access the records in the featured collection for free until September 2, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. ET. After the free access period ends, you will only be able to view the records in the featured collection using a paid Ancestry Membership. To see a full list of the records in the featured collection, please click here.
