About this webinar

Despite his best efforts, Geoff Rasmussen’s long standing brick wall hasn’t come down yet. John Williams, born in New York City between 1840-1854, was the son of John Williams. Family tradition says that “he was orphaned at the age of 10 and shifted around until he was 16”. Geoff thinks it’s time to add a little genetic genealogy to his plan.

    That was so inspiring. I’ve a lot of catching up to do, seeing there have been a number of non-genealogy obstacles in the way but at least I’ve made a start!

    Such a great webinar! Diahan is a great presenter…and combined with the real life test case of Geoff’s ancestor, it makes for a very interesting and practical way to learn and reinforce our dna search strategies! Thanks!!
