Genetic Genealogy with Kate Penney Howard

Near the top of your match list, you’ve got this mystery match that just might be the key to your research. The only problem is they don’t have a visible tree and they didn’t respond to the message you sent two years ago. But that doesn’t mean that you should give up! This class will give users of every skill level more tools to crack that difficult case. You’ll learn about strategies for logically approaching your search, what you can glean from your match’s profile, how free & paid resources can help you, and you’ll receive a research template that will help you ensure you have left no stone unturned. This is an entertaining, in-person presentation, so join us with whatever note-taking device you prefer and bring your questions for the Q&A session at the end. (General Interest)
