Saturday, 15-May-21 at 11:00 AM. Program Meeting--MPE: Disconnected Connections - In genealogical circles, the acronym MPE stands for a misattributed parentage event. It is different than an adoption case or a case of an unknown parent. A misattributed parentage event encompasses those situations where parentage has been attributed to the wrong person. For example, learning that daddy wasn’t really the biological father. Finding a MPE can be an unexpected or upsetting matter. Truth is, it happens more frequently than we think. This presentation will begin with a discussion on the myths, pursuit and ethics of MPE research, when the family lore, DNA and documents diverge. The presentation will conclude with a case study exploring the speaker’s own personal MPE finding, the research approach followed, and the ethics involved. Debbie Wilson Smyth.
