+'''Class topic:''' "Descendancy Research: Another Pathway to Genealogy"
+'''Description:''' Breaking through the challenges of brick walls in genealogy has never been more rewarding. Genealogists are often taught the way to doing research is to search backwards through generations; going back as far as one can. This lecture assumes a new focus on doing genealogical research on tracing all the descendants of an ancestral couple to present. This class examines the methodology and techniques to find living relations who may hold the key to your family history research. Focus is given to provide actual case studies of doing this kind of research.
