Using U.S. City Directories to Advance Your Research
Featured Guest Speaker: Mike Mansfield
Description: City directories, as a source of local history, provide rich and detailed residential, relationship, and occupational information on heads of households and their spouses and can lead us to other sources such as local churches, schools, and cemeteries. This session will illustrate concepts with a large collection of U.S. City Directories at MyHeritage, and additional online collections will be discussed and concepts learned about these sources will be widely applicable.
Presenter Info: Mike Mansfield works for MyHeritage.com as the Director of Content Operations. Previously, Mike has worked for Ancestry.com and FamilySearch, and has been professionally active in the genealogy and family history domain for the last 23 years. Mike has served on the board of Federation of Genealogical Societies and he has presented at numerous genealogical conferences, webinars, and symposia in the United States, England, Scandinavia, and Australia. He holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Brigham Young University and a Master of Science in Library and Information Science from Syracuse University.
