Using Collateral Ancestors in Your Research (Classes & Workshops)
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Instructors: Nancy Brennan and Cindy Kennedy.
Collateral relatives are any blood relatives not your direct ancestor; for example your cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, siblings, etc. Direct line ancestral research can often be enhanced by researching all the siblings of an ancestor and the siblings of the parents. Names repeated in the children of siblings, sometimes can be a clue to parent’s names. In today’s world of DNA matches, collateral research is even more fruitful in producing good results
