“Finding Fayette’s Father: Autosomal DNA Reveals Misattributed Parentage”

by Jennifer Zinck, CG

Traditional documentation clearly identified Fayette’s father without conflict. However, the DNA results of Fayette’s descendants told a different story. Learn how DNA evidence combined with a trail of clues and the application of the Genealogical Proof Standard revealed a secret from the summer of 1913.
