Limited Time Free Webinar: "How Harry Potter Can Teach You About DNA" by Blaine Bettinger

Another great DNA webinar from Blaine Bettinger, "How Harry Potter Can Teach You About DNA," is available at Legacy Family Tree Webinars (free to non-subscribers through June 21, 2017):

Pop culture contains well-known family trees that genealogists can utilize to get younger generations interested in genealogy.  These family trees also contain relationships that can be utilized  to teach genealogists of all ages about genetic genealogy.  For example, the family tree in Harry Potter - one of the most widely recognized pop culture family trees - can be used to educate genealogists about Y-DNA, mtDNA, and atDNA.

Runs 1 hour 31 minutes.

Marc back in the his Harry Potter days.  This was likely taken when we saw "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (2007), although "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (2004) is the best one.

Throwback Thursday: We Take Marc to See a Harry Potter Movie

Marc doing his best Harry Potter waiting in line at the movies, most likely for Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix (2007).  My personal collection.

Today I woke up to the sad news of Alan Rickman's passing.  He's been around for as long as I remember but I'll always remember him best for his Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies.
