Zoom Meeting – Local Search Angels Solve DNA Cases PART TWO!
Local Search Angels Solve DNA Cases PART TWO!
by Tammy White and Angela Bernard, Local Search Angels
PART TWO
The sisters are returning to share with us “how” they do it, walk us through “fast & dirty trees” and share their own DNA stories with us.
They will provide an overview of how they have solved 75+ cases using genetic genealogy. They will discuss basic DNA platforms, resources and their process from beginning to end of select cases. They will share stories of reunification. Sharing the ups and downs of finding a long-lost family member. Then they will discuss resources and platforms used for searching for someone. Finally, they will demonstrate, using DNA, how to start a search from the beginning. They provide ongoing resources to help with searches and take questions
Angela Bernard and Tammy White are sisters who began researching family ancestry in the late 90’s. Family members passed along a large paper, photo and family bible trail that originated long before DNA testing for ancestry gained it’s popularity. Inheriting this treasure trove of information, fueled our desire to dive further. As technology advanced, it led to DNA testing on all platforms. Through this process, we have found many mistakes along the paper trail but must give credit where credit is due to our family members who tromped around in overgrown cemeteries and dug out historical records in courthouses etc. Due to a major unexpected line appearing in our own DNA matches, we developed a passion for problem solving and triangulating DNA matches in order to determine relationships. They are both Heritage Seekers.
