Cousin Baiting and Cousin Stalking

Presented by Christine Cohen, sponsored by the Minnesota Genealogical Society.

Description:
Christine Cohen will discuss the many ways to reach out to distant living cousins to help you expand your pedigree chart forward in time. You may connect with a cousin to find family bibles, old photos, DNA test takers and genealogical information that will break down your brick wall. Christine will explore online family trees, lineage society applications, cemetery records, obituaries in newspapers, living people finder websites and social media to place bait and track down those cousins.
