Genealogy in Reverse: Finding the Living
Genealogy often feels like a treasure hunt, piecing together the stories of those who came before us. But sometimes the focus shifts from the past to the present as we look for living relatives who can fill in the gaps in our family stories. Learning how to find living relatives can be a valuable skill to help you reach out and connect with living family and descendants of your ancestors who may have the information you are looking for or be able to put you in touch with those who do.
