    Read the descriptions!

    Would you drive cross country without a map? Then don't go researching within collections if you haven't read the description. Think of it as your roadmap for how to use the collection and what you can and can't find within.

    Non-Paternity Events

    Until I got into genetic genealogy, I had no idea how common misattributed parentage was. The reality is, most people's trees, if they aren't also using genetic matches to validate everything, likely have the wrong biological parents in one or more places in the tree.    Today we talk about how to figure out your relationship to a match that has a non-paternity event, or NPE in their tree... Just remember, it might be in yours.   @theWGTPod  WGT on Facebook

  7. Audit your tree

    Audit your tree

    It's only natural that the more genealogy we do, the better we get at it. In genealogy being better means being finding more records and being more accurate. So what do you do about all that work you did earlier when your skills weren't as developed. It's time for an audit.   @theWGTPod on Twitter Find me on Facebook

  8. Foreign Language Records

    Foreign Language Records

    As an American doing genealogy, it's so exciting when you finally see those documents that show what country your family came from. Once you've learned everything there is to learn in America about them, it's time to cross the pond and start learning about them in the home country... But what if that country's records aren't in English? Have no fear, you're not at a dead end just yet.    @theWGTPod on Twitter Find me on Facebook
