This lecture provides a basic understanding of what's crucial in compiling a Medical Family Tree chart and Predisposition Results Sheet.
Professional genealogist Marsha Peterson Maass will explore both traditional genealogical research methods to find family health records along with what today's commercially available medical DNA test results can offer. Genealogists are often amazed to discover that they might already possess many records that yield this family medical information. Topics are covered in the textbooks Fundamentals of Genealogy®: Medical Family Tree Workbook and Fundamentals of Genealogy®: Basics for Everyone. Textbooks are distributed before the lecture so participants can peruse them during the lecture and can optionally purchase to take home for $20/each (this price is a 20% discount).
