I have written a how-to article for the GenealogyArchives web
site that explains how to use family history research techniques
to track down previously unknown living distant cousins.

It includes a case study that started with my discovery of an
1886 obituary of my great-great-grandfather in a St. Louis Jewish
newspaper and culminated in my being able to contact two living
brothers who are my third cousins.

Another article I recently wrote provides a step-by-step
introduction to genetic genealogy. It can be accessed on the eHow
web site at http://tinyurl.com/yzt69fs
