BCG’s next free monthly webinar, in conjunction with Legacy Family Tree Webinars, is
“DNA Helps Identify Parents for James Dolan”by Jennifer Zinck, CG®, CGL®, AG®, AGLTM
Tuesday, July 21, 2026, 8:00 p.m. (EDT)
Y-DNA and autosomal DNA correlate with documentary evidence to connect Connecticut immigrant James Dolan to his Irish parents in 1860s Walker, Northumberland, England. This case shows how genetic clues can help solve real research problems when the paper trail isn’t enough. See the Genealogical Proof Standard in action as the evidence comes together to support a solid conclusion.
