Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society: Solving a Brick Wall with DNA – A Case Study Online
Scott County Iowa Genealogical Society and the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center of the Davenport Public Library invite you to their monthly meeting.
For our December presentation, we will learn about "Solving a Brick Wall with DNA – A Case Study" offered through Legacy Family Tree Webinars. This presentation is presented by Larry W. Thomas. The description from the Legacy Family Tree website states, "How I used both Mitochondrial and Autosomal DNA to prove a great grandmother’s maternal line. When no paper trail gives answers, sometimes we can turn to DNA to provide the proof of the relationship and then introduce new documentary evidence to draw a valid conclusion. In this case, my father’s maternal grandmother’s parents were a complete mystery but I was able to conclude who her mother and grandparents were using DNA and documented evidence. Since her mother was not married and no evidence at this time, her father remains a mystery. For now." Join us and see what you can learn about the ancestors in your family.
This program is scheduled to be held in person and virtually. If you prefer to attend virtually, please follow this link to participate in the event.
This program is suitable for adults and teens.
