Adoption and unknown (or misattributed) parentage events—whether recent or in the past—can challenge genealogists. DNA can be a powerful tool for finding birth families. We’ll cover techniques and resources for this work.

  6. Building trees back and forward in time
  7. Developing and testing hypotheses for the unknown parent(s)
