Please respond with your point of view about the police using #DNA databases like #GEDmatch to solve cold cases. Let's assume we all value privacy, we all value crime resolution. But which do you value most when DNA you submitted to a database for genealogical research before police recognized this data source might be used now to find a criminal?

One-place studies sounds like what we called local history in graduate school. And my current project could qualify as that somewhat. What takes it down a different path for me is to anchor the research in a set of people who lived there, rather than making the municipality the main character or point of view. To me, genohistory can be the story of a place through specific people or of specific people as they experienced a place and time.
