Emily is a professional genealogist and lecturer living in Denton, Texas.  She began her genealogy research working with her mother in courthouses and cemeteries finding records for her ancestors in Ohio and Pennsylvania.  She is the president of the Texas State Genealogical Society (TxSGS) for a two year term that began on January 1, 2025.  Emily’s topic will be:

Collateral Research: Using 9 nine) children and DNA to Develop the story.

To achieve thorough genealogical research, one must take the time to research individuals who are not direct ancestors but are related to your primary research subject, collateral relatives.  These could include aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as siblings of your grandparents, great grandparents, etc.  The time you spend researching these individuals may help you to gain a broader context for understanding family dynamics as well as fill in missing pieces of your research.

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.
