'Successful Collateral and Cluster Searching' with Thomas MacEntee 

While you may think you’ve hit a brick wall with your research, have you tried using cluster and collateral search strategies to look for an opening? Researching non-direct relations as well as those friends and neighbors in your ancestors’ network can pay off in ways you might not imagine. Learn why researching those in-laws, “shirt-tail cousins” and others who may not be a direct-line ancestor as well as “friends, neighbors and associates” can help you break down your genealogy research brick walls.

​

This meeting will be held in person at the Bentonville Public Library and on Zoom.

What Have You Learned About Your Family from DNA Results?

Share what you’ve learned from DNA testing in your family history research. Whether it confirmed old stories or revealed unexpected connections, this discussion invites personal insights, surprises, and questions. No experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to explore how DNA has deepened (or complicated!) your family story.
