Quinby is a member of the North San Diego County Genealogical Society, where she has given several lectures on family history methods and findings. She will explain how she and her collaborating cousins used both modern technology and traditional genealogy to identify a previously unknown ancestor dating back more than 150 years ago. This case study will demonstrate how you can apply DNA results to your family mysteries. Quinby has been researching his family tree since he was 15.
