Ugo Pergo ---I HAD MY DNA TESTED--- NOW WHAT? This presentation will be a webinar with handouts.  

Hundreds of thousands of genetic profiles for family history and ancestral purposes have been generated by private laboratories, universities, and the National Geographic's Project during the past fifteen years.  Thankfully, a number of online databases are providing large use of searchable data in an effort to provide the missing hand. Knowing which resources are available and how to properly use them is key to understanding our personalize genetic genealogy and getting the most out of our own genetic profile.

Lela Evans will be our presenter.

Our speaker will be Kelvin Meyers  Scallywags, Rogues, and Ruffs:  All Those Ancestors We Don't Talk About.  Every family has them, skeletons in the closet--those things that are not talked about in front of the children, and when they are it is only in whispers and euphemisms.  How do you access the records of prisons, asylums, and courts to find the truth behind the story>  In this lecture this question and many others will be answered.

Our presenter this month will be Mary E Willson.

Featuring Aaron Holt of the Fort Worth National Archives & Records

Agenda

Kelvin Meyer will be presenting Probate: More Than A Will.  Most persons who lived in America, and lived to adulthood, left some kind of estate to be administered.  Some left wills, some did not.  Either way if there was land or large amounts of personal property, there should be probate.  The records of probate can be some of the most fruitful for genealogists.  wills, distributions, administrations, and inventories are all vital parts of the probate process and full of genealogical information.  These are the things that will be discussed in this lecture.

Davideen Demske will be presenting:   Naturalization and Citizenship                                                                                                                                                                   This presentation is a fast-paced and in-depth analysis on how to find and utilize the genealogical information found in naturalization and citizenship records.

Diane Dyess will be instructing us about,   Southern Cemetery Symbolism.  Southern cemeteries, especially in the Deep South, are full of their own unique tombstone symbolism that is not only fascinating but illuminating to the family researcher.
