DNA in Action 2 of 6: Writing Proofs including DNA

The series begins with sound genealogy methodology and principles and then explains their logical extensions when using autosomal DNA as a source of information to answer focused research questions. Karen will use a case example to prove the documented ancestors are consistent with the genetic evidence on a selected ancestral line. This lecture focuses on methodology and decision-making.

Karen will demonstrate how to convert previous documented conclusions into a more expansive base test taker group to generate clues that help to create an efficient research plan in documentary sources.

Genealogists often research Friends, Associates, and Neighbors (the FAN club) to help solve thorny genealogy problems. In this session, Karen applies that same strategy to DNA. You will learn how to reason from correlated clusters of DNA cousins to prove biological relationships.

Karen will illustrate the genetic confirmation of a Mexican ancestral line that goes back four generations to a small town in Guanajuato, Mexico. Integration of evidence from DNA tests and original records meets the Genealogical Proof Standard. Lecture in English using Mexican records.
