As a generational genealogist, Karen Rasmussen loves family history. It is her thing! As a member of The Humble Area Genealogical Society, she is happy to try and help others. Karen has been on staff at the Kingwood FamilySearch Center for over twenty years, as well as serving four years on the FamilySearch historical records help desk. Karen is a past president of THAGS and former board member. She hopes you will join us for this meeting and invite a friend.
As seasoned genealogists, we know research gets tougher as we travel back in time. A single record seldom gives us those names, dates, places, and relationships we are seeking to fill out our family pedigree. What to do? What to do? Join us for this guided discussion on how to move your research along. Get the most out of the evening by attending in person. A handout will be provided post-event.

Richard Hill was the first adoptee to identify his birth family through genetic genealogy DNA tests. He shared the story of his decades-long search in an award-winning book, “Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA.” His Kindle Short Book, “Guide to DNA Testing,” gives readers just enough information to choose the right DNA tests for their purposes. He has founded two websites on DNA testing, most recently DNAFavorites.com. Richard gives presentations on genetic genealogy topics both virtually and in person. He is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild and the International Society of Genetic Genealogy. He lives in Michigan with his wife of 58 years and two cats.
