Thank you for an excellent presentation! Re the marriage in jail, I recently ran across a newspaper article from 1914 about a couple married in jail. The bride's father had brought a charge of seduction against the groom, who was then arrested and jailed. The next morning, the bride went to the jail, and the same justice of the peace who had served the warrant performed the marriage ceremony.
Excellent presentation. Really informative.
This was an excellent webinar. I especially liked that fact that Ms. Williams gave a step-by-step process for how she used multiple DNA tools along with good, old fashioned genealogy research to try to answer her research question and learned a lot of very useful information along the way, but ultimately came to the conclusion that more research is needed, so this project is a work in progress. It is important for beginner and intermediate researchers to hear, understand and appreciate this.
Very well done! Thank you for sharing that with us (and good luck with hopefully solving it completely in the future!). Definitely got me re-thinking how to approach finding the family for my own great-grandfather!
I am going to find out how to use DNA Painter and look back at some of the previous webinars on DNA
Well-crafted presentation showing the nicely blended process of working DNA clues with paper genealogy methods
Enjoyed Paula's presentation and the process she used in her journey to locate her dad's grandfather. I have learned of a few new sites to browse in my quest to locate my own ancestors in the US.
Loved the examples oand explanations for her thought process.
