Dont' Build Your Own Brick Walls
Featuring Guest Speaker: Jill Morelli, CG
 Description: Most brick walls are of our own making! We need to address the reasons why they exist so we can resolve the problem. We will review some of the reasons our brick walls get built and how to tear them down. Hard hat ready? Let's start smashing the wall.
Presenter Info: Jill Morelli, CG, loves to share her passion for genealogy with others. She is a writer, lecturer and researcher specializing in the methodology, US Midwest, and Scandinavia. Jill has been successfully published in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Swedish American Genealogist, Illinois State Genealogical Quarterly and many others.

Start with yourself. Document everything you know about yourself. Include your spouse, children, grandchildren, etc. Include occupations, where you have lived and all important events in your life. Then, and only then, start working backwards and with your living relatives.

Early citizenship began with the Naturalization Act of 1790. It required a two year residency before an immigrant could obtain citizenship.

Newspapers are wonderful hometown records. In addition to looking for obituaries, be sure to look for articles about special events... births, baptisms/christenings, weddings and pre-nuptial events (bridal showers, etc.), birthdays (parties), anniversaries, etc.
