WHAT IS FORENSIC GENEALOGY?
Forensic scientists and genealogists share the same goal–to find out who was who, and who did what and when. In explaining how to analyze photographs, to mine databases, and to use DNA analysis to reveal family history, Forensic Genealogy emphasizes the creative parts of an investigation over the mechanics.
Forensic Genealogy: CSI Meets Roots
speaker: Colleen Fitzpatrick, PhD
Who? What? When? Where? Are these the words of a genealogist researching his family tree or a forensic scientist solving a mystery? Maybe someone who is both! You will arrive at this talk a genealogist, you will leave a forensic genealogist.
