Course instructor Brian Holloway spent 25 years unraveling the
mystery of his father’s birth, which had been obscured by
misinformation, before turning to genetic genealogy in 2013. Just four
years later this century-old family mystery was solved when DNA
testing led the discovery of his father’s birth certificate. Brian’s
experiences offer a wealth of knowledge for others seeking to solve a
mystery or overcome barriers in their family history.
