Finding my Biological Father: a DNA and Genealogy Case Study
presented by Steve Szabados
June 6, 2023 –9:00 – 11:30 am
Steve’s DNA results did not match the paper trail and eventually proved that his mother took a secret to her grave. His biological father was not the father he grew with, and no one was alive that could tell me who his biological father was. Steve solved the mystery and now has another family tree with its share of new family stories. Join Steve as he describes how he used DNA and traditional genealogy tools to find his new family. How would you react if you found you had a secret family?
