DNA is a useful tool to support traditional family research. It gives a broader view of the family ‘s history and may provide some surprises along the way. The Family Tree should be as detailed as possible . The descendants (all of them!) of your Great Grandparents are particularly important, since identifying these people will help when you connect with your DNA matches. A short presentation I gave at GGI 2017 Conference below.
