About this webinar

Oftentimes a DNA match lacks a family tree. Don’t fret. Learn how to build one for them so you can fit them into your tree. We’ll walk through steps to take to determine who your match is and possible ways they might be related. We’ll also discuss how far back to build their trees to ultimately connect them into your family tree. Once you know how they’re related to you, you’ll be able to work with them more productively.

    The talk was about more than just building a research tree. The speaker very clearly presented a strategy for using multiple sources of DNA data to determine how my DNA matches are related to me. Her slow, steady pace made it very easy to follow the logic.

    Great overview. Glad I’m doing things right! My direct paternal grt-grandfather (b. ca 1818) changed his name (and wives) many times. I have no idea who he really was. His ethnicity is distinct from my other lines, so I am building a private unsearchable tree for 5 matches on that side (triangulation). Once I find how the matches connect, I can look for where my ancestor should fit. Wish me luck!
