When Kathy Halderman got her 23andMe DNA test back, she was surprised to find a cousin on a branch in her long-lost great grandfather's family tree. It was 2015 and Halderman had spent the better part of three decades researching her mother's side of the family. Recent history was well documented, but anything beyond her grandmother, Viola, whose deafness isolated her from the family, was tough to find. In the case of her great grandfather, Arthur Charles Peters, the information she sought seemed almost nonexistent. All that changed when those DNA results produced a beacon in her cousin Jennifer Edinger, who happened to be on a parallel path, digging up anything she could find to know more about her mother's grandfather.
