HGF members and non-members may access the latest issue of The Genealogical Record by clicking on The Genealogical Record, Fall 2024. The Fall issue will be available until the Spring 2025 issue is published in December 2024.
What you can find in each issue:
In addition to family history stories and a well-documented research article, TGR includes features to keep you abreast of what’s going on in the HGF, as well as state, and national genealogical societies. You will find information about new and continuing members, special projects undertaken by HGF members, helpful hints on genealogical resources and tools, book and media reviews, and more.
Short summaries of three articles that will hopefully whet your curiosity:
This issue focuses on DNA, including its interpretation and some surprising information that it has revealed.
Family Tree – The author’s complicated childhood and parental relationships were further challenged by the results of her DNA test. The ensuing journey to find her true identity and family makes for a compelling story of acceptance and forgiveness.
Secret Identity – An enigmatic email arrives from an unknown family member who was adopted at birth. Some detective work to identify his biological parents has reconnected him to the family who didn’t know he existed.
DNA says you are related to a Viking, a medieval German Jew, or a 1700s enslaved Africa? -- This scholarly article written by geneticists explains what your DNA results really mean when you look back to more and more distant generations.
Note that previous editions of The Genealogical Record are available to HGF members by logging onto the website and clicking on Member Resources, then The Genealogical Record.
