Forensic scientists and
genealogists share the
same goal–to find out
who was who, and who
did what and when. In
explaining how to
analyze photographs, to
mine databases, and to
use DNA analysis to
reveal family history,
Forensic Genealogy
emphasizes the creative
parts of an investigation
over the mechanics.
Have you ever thought
of looking at the edges
of old photographs to
find out if they are from
the same roll, or the
backs to place them in
chronological order?
Have you considered
looking at a city
directory to figure out if
your ancestor and his
wife lost any children?
