The Case of the Missing Will
Featuring Guest Speaker: Shelley Bishop
Description: 1870 Illinois resident, James Taylor, was born in Ohio – but where and to whom? No will, probate, death record, obituary, or other record names his parents. This case study illustrates how indirect evidence drawn from extensive research in a variety of sources was analyzed and correlated to identify his father and long-deceased mother, as well as locate his place of birth.
Presenter Info: Shelley Bishop is a professional genealogical researcher, writer, and speaker with a passion for finding and preserving ancestral stories. She is a frequent contributor to Family Tree Magazine, NGS Magazine, and other publications.
