January 2006 Meeting - Genealogy: When you think you haven't got a clue

We opened 2006 with the presentation Genealogy--When You Think You Haven't Got a Clue!, given by Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak, author of four unique genealogy books and lead researcher on the PBS Ancestors series. Ms. Smolenyak Smolenyak shared some of her interesting stories of family history researchers and how DNA is currently being used to repatriate families of servicemen killed or MIA in Korea and Vietnam.

The following is a list of Ms. Smolenyak's books. Click here for more information:

  • Trace Your Roots with DNA: Using Genetic Tests to Explore Your Family Tree
  • They Came to America: Finding Your Immigrant Ancestors
  • Honoring Our Ancestors: Inspiring Stories of the Quest for Our Roots
