Stuck on a brick wall? Research their FAN Club:
• Friends
• Associates
• Neighbours

Sometimes the answer isn’t in your ancestor’s record — it’s in their neighbour’s.

DNA Tip 🧬 A centimorgan (cM) measures shared DNA.
More cM = closer relationship.
• 3,400 cM → Parent
• 1,700 cM → Sibling
• 200 cM → Likely 2nd cousin range
DNA is probability, not certainty.
