Previous experiences have been planning/hosting a national family reunion, mineral rights, southern research, civil war records, finding the history/names of enslaved, court records, creating family narratives, creating genealogical and genetic trees, researching misattributed parent, triangulating DNA cousins, deeds, all vital records, probate, cemetery preservation, DAR lineage, reclaiming lost bibles and photographs to descendants, and teaching genealogy skills to youth at regional conferences (400 participants).
