The Genealogy Proof Standard in Action: Finding the Parents

and Siblings of a Civil War Ancestor

Join us for a FREE virtual program on Feb. 13th at 6:30 p.m. ET!

This lecture is a case study where I share how I identified the parents and siblings of my ancestor who was killed during the Civil War and who left behind few records. I'll also review the Genealogical Proof Standard and show how each step of the GPS applies to my research process. The case is built on indirect evidence, and I also used the FAN Club, and DNA evidence to help solve the mystery.
