DNA and Genealogy Research: Simplified by Stephen Szabados Pdf

Here is a great book to help you understand your DNA test results. I tried to stay away from using scientific terms and attempted to use my genealogy skills to make sense of the data. It’s a short read at 84 pages, but I know my methods will solve DNA puzzles. Using my DNA results and basic genealogy skills, I solved a major mystery in my family tree with no paper trail or oral history. I describe the basics of each type of DNA test and why we should take each kind of test. I also compare the major testing companies. However, the critical value of this book is my explanation of how to overcome the scientific nature of the results by looking at your results using traditional genealogical skills. My explanation includes practical examples of how to use the tools, and my goal is to simplify how you analyze your results in terms that all of us as genealogists can understand. I present a case-study, where I discuss using these tools to find a biological father whose existence was a total surprise to his son. Genetics is a challenging science to understand, and many test-takers are confused by their results. So use the tools discussed in this book to demystify your DNA results. Focus on the goals you had when you ordered your test kit. Follow the clues to open up new information for your family history. DNA testing is only one tool in your genealogy tool kit, but it is a powerful tool. Use it wisely. Learn to use DNA and traditional genealogical techniques in tandem, and you will be able to harness the full value of genetic testing.

Memories of Dziadka: Rural Life in the Kingdom of Poland 1880-1912 and Immigration to America by stephen szabados Pdf

This is the story of my grandfather – a very ordinary man. It covers his childhood in Poland, his immigration, and his life in America. He was a typical Polish immigrant, who immigrated to make a better life for himself. Compare his life to your ancestors. Use his life for clue that may help you understand theirs. My hope in writing this book is to share the information about the daily lives of the Polish people living in the rural areas of Poland. The book also describes some of the reasons for leaving Poland, the trek across Poland and Germany to the ports, the voyage across the North Atlantic, arrival in America and their life in their new country. I used my grandfather as the central figure in this book but this is not his biography. I used details of my grandfather's life but added accounts of other people to tell a complete life story. My grandfather was not a person whose accomplishments would be in history books. However, his life is an example of a typical Polish immigrant. I felt that tying the information to one person would make a more interesting story and easier to show the impact of various events had on our ancestor's life.
