Lineage Lunacy: How lineage applications can bolster or bottom up your family research
Saturday, 21 March 2026, 2 p.m.
Athens-Clarke Co. Library, Multipurpose Room A
Free and open to the public
Whether you are interested in joining a lineage society or want to shore up your own research, come learn how lineage methodology can help or hinder your research. This is not about how to join a society but how to maximize their best practices and resources to reinforce your family foundations. Bring your questions about acceptable sources and gain an understanding why “it’s in a book” doesn’t always fly.
Missy Mitchell is a long time genealogist, a registrar for the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), and serves on several “hard problem” DAR research committees. She is also a proud member of First Families of Gwinnett.
