"A SIBLING IS A SMALL, CRAWLING ANIMAL":
HELP AMONG THE COLLATERALS

by Roger D. Joslyn, CG, FASG

10:30 A. M.

LOCATION:

Time to take the cure from "pedigree chart syndrome" and learn more about
the sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, and other relatives of your
ancestors. You need to know about these other kin to properly define your
ancestral families, and studying the "collaterals" solves many genealogical
problems. The importance of these "non-direct" relatives is emphasized
through several case-study examples.

Our Speaker
