How are you keeping track of all your DNA test results?
DNA Testing for genealogy has become a very popular tool to help you with your family history research. However, handling all the test results that come back for a typical autosomal DNA test can be overwhelming and quickly become unwieldy. In the latest issue of FORUM, the Gadget Guy, Randy Whited, takes a look at a comprehensive research tool for organizing all of your autosomal DNA test results in "Genome Mate: A Comprehensive Research Tool for Autosomal DNA Results."How to write your family history in an entertaining yet accurate way?
With the holidays comes visits with family and loved ones...and questions about when you are going to get started with that family history you keep talking about writing year-after-year. One particular problem that seems to trip up family historians and delays the process is trying to figure out how to turn your facts into entertaining reads for your loved ones. Walking that line between historical accuracy and telling a captivating story about your ancestors can get tricky. In this latest issue of FORUM, Hazel Edwards gives some great tips to help you out in "Writing a Non-Boring Family History."Plan for your society's success in 2015 with a webinar program.
