Second Saturday: DNA Case Study: Finding a Father
Saturday, June 13
1:00 pm to 2:15 pm Zoom
Presented by Patricia B. Coleman, Ph.D.
When no birth record exists, how can we identify a biological father? This case study follows a woman born about 1877 in Lee County, Virginia, and demonstrates how DNA evidence can resolve questions that traditional records cannot. Using tools such as Genetic Affairs, One2Tree, and BanyanDNA, this session highlights a clear, step-by-step approach to clustering DNA matches, building trees, and testing hypotheses to reach a supported conclusion.

Second Saturday: Which Date is Right?
Saturday, September 12
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm Zoom
Presented by Carolyn Ladd, CG®, AG®
What is a genealogist to do with a research subject, born before the era of vital records, who left a lifetime of documents indicating a year of birth that varied by as much as 15 years? In this case study of an African American woman from South Carolina born in the late 19th Century, the Genealogy Standards for evidence correlation and resolving evidence inconsistencies led to one likely date of birth. Chronological tables and visual charts generated by AI helped identify patterns across sources. Her sibling’s birth dates and probable dates of conception helped narrow down a possible date of birth.
