DNA in genealogy offers exciting opportunies for discovering the past. it can reveal ethnic ancestry, but also reveal family connections that can help fill in familiy trees and answer questions about family migrations across the Unitied States and beyond.

DNA can be one of the best "brick wall" busters in a genealogist's toolkit. Patti Huff Williams will show you how powerful a tool it can be with the case study of a 100-year-old family mystery and how DNA solved it.
