Using Autosomal DNA To Find An Unknown Ancestor  (Program)
10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Online - Zoom
Presented by Greg Liverman
 
In this case study, "Using Autosomal DNA to Find an Unknown Ancestor", we are looking for the biological paternal great-grandfather of my client. My client's paternal grandfather, Jesse Henry Wilbur, born 1911 in St. Louis, MO, was raised by a man who was not his biological father.

Y-DNA and autosomal DNA evidence was used in addition to records research. Color clustering is used to determine the set of autosomal DNA matches that are from the great-grandfather's line. Match’s pedigrees are developed using records research to identify the great-great-grandparents and the likely great-grandfather.

What kind of stories could they tell?
