New "Member Friday" Webinar - The Fromelles Genealogy Project: From WW1 Mass Grave to 21st Century Named Grave by Michelle Leonard

New "Member Friday" Webinar - The Fromelles Genealogy Project: From WW1 Mass Grave to 21st Century Named Grave by Michelle Leonard
Every Friday we're pleased to offer Legacy Family Tree Webinar subscribers a new bonus webinar just for them! This Friday enjoy "The Fromelles Genealogy Project: From WW1 Mass Grave to 21st Century Named Grave" by Michelle Leonard. 

The Fromelles Genealogy Project: From WW1 Mass Grave to 21st Century Named Grave

In May 2008, 250 WWI soldiers were uncovered in a mass grave in France and this led to the instigation of a ground-breaking project to uncover their identities via DNA testing, anthropological data and genealogical research. This presentation tells the story of the Fromelles Project with a specific focus on how genealogical detective work has so far helped to identify 166 of the Fromelles soldiers and give them named graves in the first military cemetery to be built in France since WWII. It also tells the stories of some of the fallen soldiers, introduces the "Commemorating The Missing" Project and gives a brief explanation of how to research WW1 soldiers and trace DNA appropriate relatives.

"An African-Canadian Family History Mystery" 
by Mags Gaulden

A scientist in Ottawa wants to know what his real last name is. The family lore? The great grandfather, Samuel, was adopted by an African-Canadian gentleman, Abraham. The adoptee, Samuel, was the son of Abraham’s wife’s sister. Family photographs of Samuel’s children reveal Anglo-Canadian boys. Taking all the information from a family Genealogy done previously and adding aspects of traditional, forensic and genetic genealogy we will extend the story, finding the truth to this family’s rich history. Along the way we will discover their real identity, and their story, beyond Samuel Gorge and into the dark history early African families in Ontario.
