One of my most frustrating brick walls in my genealogy research has been my 4x-great-grandfather, John Fraser. We have records for his two marriages and the births of his six children, but nothing about his own birth or death. And not for lack of trying!
Assorted Updates
News on several fronts this week: Fraser family DNA testing; Rudeen relatives in Sweden; and an upcoming Martinson project.
Double Second Cousins among Frasiers
I took on a little project the last couple of weeks – something I’d meaning to do for a long time: how are the Gilchrists, Frasiers, Pierces and Rosecrans families all interconnected? I found some surprising answers and many more connections than I expected.
Frasier Siblings
I was looking through Grandma Thelma’s photo album last week and noticed several fun photos of Grandma and her siblings through the years.
DNA
DNA. It’s amazing how three letters could so completely change the field of genealogy. What’s a discovery you’ve made with DNA? What about a brick wall that DNA might help break down?
