Wow. Excellent.
Great info! Although I was able to get my grandmother's original 1891 birth certificate, the mother used a false name for herself and a fictitious dead husband. She also testified falsely under oath during the proceeding (I got the file too, with 1 page of testimony). That misled me for a long time and it took DNA and methodology to solve it. Birth certificates can be wrong.
Such a great webinar with methodology steps. Loved it!
Wow! This case study was a fantastic real-life demonstration of how to effectively utilize methodology to successfully solve an unknown parentage mystery. Thank you Elizabeth!
Totally engrossing. I started out half listening to the webinar while watching Master Chief. Gordon Ramsey was quickly placed on the back burner.
Very informative and presented in a way that was easy to understand. I have been working with DNA for years but I learned new skills tonight.
The techniques for family history have changed dramatically during the past decade. Thoroughly enjoyed virtually attending the webinar. Shannon Bridget Murphy
