Genealogy Book Club
The group meets the 2nd Thursday of every month from September, 2024 to June, 2025. Sessions start at 6:30 pm and run for an hour. The next session is October 10th.
We’re diving into “Research Like a Pro with DNA” by Diana Elder, Nicole Dyer, and Robin Wirthln. Together, we’ll read through this guide and apply its methodology to tackle one of the brick walls in our family trees. Over the course of 10 months, you can expect to make substantial progress on your genealogical puzzle, identify actionable next steps, and perhaps even solve your mystery. This study group offers a unique opportunity to learn about the application of DNA in genealogy and to apply these techniques to your research in a supportive, collaborative environment. Terry Hartley, a graduate of the inaugural session of the Research Like a Pro course (2019) offered by the authors, will share her insights and experiences from the course.
The book is available in paperback from Amazon for $37.99 and $9.99 for the Kindle version. Once registered, you’ll receive information about the readings and other preparatory work for our next session. Embark on this journey with us and enhance your genealogy research skills using DNA!
