Hybrid Meeting with Zoom Presenter
Rhonda McClure is a Senior Genealogist at NEHGS - a.k.a. American Ancestors
Title : "Finding the Living: Doing Descendancy Research"
As family historians, we focus on tracing our ancestry further and further into the past, going back one generation at a time. There are, however, cases when we need to do the opposite and trace lines forward. Rhonda R. McClure, Senior Genealogist at American Ancestors, will discuss how descendancy research, i.e. tracing all descendants of an individual to the present, can help you further your research. Whether you are building out your ancestors’ network of extended family, hoping to understand DNA connections, working on a study project, creating a family association, or just want to connect with distant family, this talk will give you the necessary tools and strategies for finding living relations.
