RLP 272: Proving an Ancestor with DNA: Benjamin Cox

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about using DNA evidence to confirm a hypothesis created with indirect documentary evidence. We discuss Diana's research on Benjamin Cox, his proposed children, and his migration. We touch on helpful onomastic evidence, DNA evidence, and FAN club connections. Diana shares how she made a McGuire chart to show shared DNA from four Benjamin Cox descendants who shared their DNA results with other descendants of Benjamin.
