After 20 years of research into her mother's family, and finding records using both easily available sources and serendipitous discoveries, Debra Kay (and her mother) received a huge surprise thanks to DNA testing. The presentation will show the joys and pitfalls of using computer research, American vital, census and military records, DNA, and family interviews to solve the mystery. Take a romp through the Mir Yeshiva, King Solomon's Mines, Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union to find Grandpa.
