A theme of 2024 has been learning new things. I stepped out of my comfort zone this year and started a DNA study group course. I built research questions, and learned how to use Ancestry's Pro Tools along with the lessons from the course. I also consulted with a DNA expert to help provide additional ideas for working with the DNA tests I manage.
I watched a lot of YouTube sessions on DNA, research methods and AI tools. Those classes and virtual lessons paid off, resolving the mystery of my 2nd-great-grandmother's father and uncovering a whole branch of the family tree. I've also connected with distant cousins as I work on new and emerging questions from the research.
I've signed up for Rootstech 2025 and look forward to continuing to expand my knowledge of DNA analysis. 2025 has a lot of promise and will certainly bring new opportunities to learn.
