Have you searched for and located a previously unknown immediate or closely related genetic relative using DNA?
If so, you may be able to help Prof Barbara A. Mitchell of Simon Fraser University with her study funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) for 2023–2027. The project “Aging Amateur Family Genealogists: Linking Lives and Long-Lost Relatives” focuses on the psycho-social impacts of discovering previously unknown family members, drawing upon historical and archival records, family stories/memories, and home-based DNA kits.
Genealogists aged 55 and older are being sought to complete a web-based survey consisting of three questions, which should take less than half an hour to complete.
