DNA: Solving genealogy brickwalls
—
On Monday 21st March, we were entertained via Zoom by Mia Bennett and her talk “DNA – Solving Genealogy Brickwalls”.
Using the example of her search for her great-grandfather, she took us through the various steps of using DNA to trace family members. During this journey of discovery she came across forgeries, quick marriages, criminal ancestors — and often her research ended up in more questions than answers.
