Pajama/housecoat genealogy is one kind of genealogy research I really enjoy. I am checking out the links and listening to free webinars, as well as a couple of paid ones. I am refreshing my genealogy research skills during my break from no meetings. The DNA webinar is an informative and well taught teaching on an introduction to DNA. I have a better understanding DNA.
