When DNA Corrects Genealogical Mistakes with Melvin J. Collier
Tuesday, May 13, 2024
We hope to see you at our next monthly meeting where we’ll hear from Melvin J. Collier, who will discuss how the results of DNA can help you correct your family trees and genealogical connections.
Melvin will use the case of his 3X-great-grandmother to demonstrate how critical thinking, facts collection, and historical analysis are vital while employing the methodologies of slave ancestral research. This case will also show how to effectively utilize genetic genealogy with our genealogy research to help to uncover the facts.
