Wim Penninx heeft onderzoek gedaan naar regionale endogamie in het autosomale DNA van Gemert in Noord-Brabant.

Where They Once Stood: Finding Your Immigrant Ancestor’s Place of Origin
Wed, January 14 2026: 19:00 UTC
Often family researchers know only the country from which their ancestor emigrated. This presentation offers examples of American records that can answer the question, “But, exactly where were they from?” Finding an ancestor’s specific place of origin in the old country can open doors to foreign records that can add generations to your family tree, and bring greater appreciation of your heritage. You may even be able to stand where they once stood.

Using Marriage Dispensations to Find Ancestors in Mexico
Fri, January 16 2026: 19:00 UTC
Marriage dispensations provide a privileged window into social and family life in viceroyal Mexico. Dispensations, or special permissions to marry granted by Catholic bishops, reveal the obstacles that had to be resolved before ecclesiastical authorities in order to contract marriage. This webinar examines dispensations for consanguinity and for ultramarinos (foreign-born individuals). In areas with high levels of endogamy, marriage dispensations become essential resources to reconstruct family relationships, even extending beyond other church records.
