The genealogical proof standard requires reasonably exhaustive research in solving ancestral-identity problems. DNA evidence is now often part of that research. Even the best DNA evidence must be combined with some traditional research. This webinar will show different ways that genealogical problems have been solved by integrating DNA evidence with the paper trail.
Patti Lee Hobbs, CG, who resides in rural southwest Missouri, is blessed to have ancestors from many geographical locations leading to research in many and varied repositories. She serves on the editorial board for the National Genealogical So
lots of information — obviously Patti is an expert, but she is able to explain most things in an understandable manner. She did a great job and I enjoyed being able to participate. thank you!!
Loved the charts and was down to earth.
Loved the explanation of how to incorporate DNA with Documentary research.
Loved the various case studies used to demonstrate the use of documentation and DNA evidence.
Ms. Hobbs has a wonderful speaking voice.
New to the subject, but very understandable as an introduction
OMG she was one of your VERY very best in terms of quality and timeliness of topic and making it soooo very understandable to students. Thank you and here’s ups you get her back again and again!
Outstanding presentation. Love the examples Patti used.
Patti does a masterful job of communicating her considerable experience. Who doesn’t appreciate such a skilled guide when traversing the murky new field of DNA analysis? Thoroughly enjoyed her presentation.
Really enjoyed the case studies and how the DNA was worked into it.
REally enjoyed the speaker
Really good explanations of the way that DNA could be used in a proof argument.
She gave such clear explanations on how to assimilate the DNA test results with our research documents. Really cleared up many questions I had. Great big thanks.
She showed the importance of doing the documentary evidence, charting information and writing out the findings.
So interesting! Thank you!
So many tips to help me whittle my way through DNA matches and figuring out connections to match to documents I have. Thank you for a great presentation!
Speaker was very knowledgeable and experienced.
Terrific presentation! Thanks you BCG and Geoff. 🙂
Thank you for the detailed and very clear syllabus.
That was absolutely fascinating! I loved the stories! It made me so excited to start digging for some court records. 🙂 Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m 30 years old with two little ones, so it gets hard to do detective work, but tonight’s presentation was absolutely inspirational!
This was one of the best webinars ever! combining DNA and documentary discussion – very relevant and contemporary.
This was very helpful. I can now see how to state my case in a series of proof statements, using the documentation and DNA evidence.
Very good case studies.
Very helpful! Learned a lot, can’t wait to try some of what she showed.
Very thorough!!
Well planned and presenter was super knowledgeable.
Wonderful, wonderful. A complicated subject matter so people need all the DNA webinars available. Patti is very smart and is easy to understand.
Would enjoy a follow up on DNA Painter, Visual Phasing, and how she puts a case study together and tracks it with Evernote.
Would like to see webinar on how to track all your DNA results.
WOW!
Wow, my head is full. So many times I wanted to hit pause or rewind. I will have to rewatch this one more than once. Great presentation.
What am I missing? Recognizing Research Holes in Available Sources (a 2021 Reisinger Lecture)
Performing reasonably exhaustive research assumes researchers recognize the resources available to solve a research question. Genealogists must recognize pertinent resources available to solve a research question and understand the limits of each of those resources. This lecture helps to navigate the pitfalls.

A one place study explores an ancestral place in depth by studying the history, the environment, and the people of a place over time. Learn practical strategies for conducting your own OPS and how it helps you meet the Genealogy Standards. See how the assembled information can add rich context to your ancestors' lives, fill gaps where records are lacking, and uncover forgotten connections within a community.

From Despair to Cargoes of Hope: WWII’s Displaced Persons
Many immigrants entered the US under the Displaced Persons Act. Based on specific criteria, eligible displaced persons (DPs) could be admitted to the US if they would not become a public charge and have safe and sanitary housing and employment without displacing some other person. The displaced person or refugee was the concern of the International Refugee Organization. The US created the Displaced Persons Commission to oversee the act’s enactment. Is your ancestor named in the record sets created? The presentation will discuss the History of the Act and the records created as a result of the Act.

“A Matrimonial Advertiser:” Tracing the Treacherous Trail of an Early 20th-Century Romance Scammer
Research on a man's mysterious second marriage identified his wife as a romance scammer who preyed on Civil War veterans. This case study shows how evidence correlation and reasonably exhaustive research cut through the lies and misdirection in a woman's records to establish her identity and reveal her sometimes deadly deception.

From the beginning of European settlement in North America, free and inexpensive land has been a tool for enticing settlers to migrate to new areas. The English and Spanish granted large tracts to individuals in return for bringing new people into areas with sparse European populations. Bounty land was granted to soldiers in America’s early wars. The end of the American Revolution led to a number of Federal plans to sell or grant vast acreages of public domain land. Homesteading opportunities attracted Americans and immigrants to the west after the Civil War. The availability of affordable land was a catalyst for the migration of many of our ancestors.

After years of using census records, genealogists may take for granted that they're using them fully and correctly. But as they learn about genealogy standards and best practices, do they go back and re-think their census practices? What does it even mean to evaluate a census record? Let's learn a bit more about the U.S. census and the specific ways that standards can help us to maximize its usefulness.

Lost and Found: Locating Ancestral Origins with FAN Club and DNA
It’s hard to do genealogy well without studying your ancestors’ Friends & Family, Associates, and Neighbors - their FAN club. If your ancestors are Irish, you might have no luck at all without those FAN principles. But if you combine FAN club research with DNA, you might have just the winning ticket to get you back to your Irish ancestor’s origins. In this case study presentation, learn how focused research pointed the way from Ohio to townlands in County Mayo for an 1850s-era Irish immigrant.

Research reports are not just for professionals, but are a great tool for anyone who wants to answer their research questions. Write a research report to yourself to organize your thoughts, analyze the evidence, document your findings, and solve your puzzles. Using an example from the Netherlands, this presentation demonstrates how you can organize a research report to spot more clues in records, discover and resolve discrepancies, and build reliable conclusions.
