I was going to compose a post to tell about an event for Thursday, May 17, but the St. Croix Valley Genealogical Society already has the info put together on its website. We did this a couple years ago and people stayed for three hours with questions. I was able to answer most questions but if I don’t know the answer specifically, I can point you to a place to find the sought-after information.
Won’t you join us in River Falls, Wisconsin at the public library meeting room at 7:00 p.m.? Even if you don’t have a specific question, it’s a time to learn from those that others present. If you live in the Twin Cites area, it’s less than an hour to River Falls. The meeting and parking are free. You might consider joining the society, though!

Thank you, have an awesome day!

Thanks for the “heads-up!” I will do my best to attend! Sounds like a great opportunity to hang out with fellow genealogists! I’m the only one in my immediate family who is actively researching so will welcome the question and answer format and learning from others who have come across similar challenges and “brick walls.” Slan!
Hello Ms. Stuart-Warren,
Can you recommend a place in AZ that could assist me with DNA results. I am needing some assistance in figuring out if a new found relative is a half sibling or an aunt.
Thank you
Melissa
I suggest checking the directory of professional at http://bcgcertification.org/ and https://www.apgen.org/ for someone who specializes in DNA.
