Tax Records: More Exciting Than You Might Think (VGS Live Webinar)
7:00 pm to 8:00 pm LIVE WEBINAR
Guest Speaker: Annette Burke Lyttle
Topic: Tax Records: More Exciting Than You Might Think
Tax records can help us locate our ancestors in place and time. They can tie our ancestors to land or confirm for us that an ancestor did not own land. They can help us follow ancestral migrations and separate same-named persons. Sometimes they can help us pinpoint a death date or timeframe. Tax records can act as censuses between the censuses. The variety of taxes levied by governments at all levels has left a rich record of our ancestors' lives and their sometimes-changing fortunes.
Presenter Info: Annette Burke Lyttle owns Heritage Detective, LLD, providing professional genealogical services in research, education and writing. She speaks on a variety of genealogical topics at the international, national, state, and local levels, and loves helping people uncover and share their family stories. She is coordinator of the Intermediate Foundations course and the Writing the Stories of Our Ancestors course for the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy. Annette leads Best Practices Study Groups for a number of organizations, providing in-depth education on the genealogy research process in an interactive setting. She is president of VGS, president of the Association of Professional Genealogists, and editor of The Florida Genealogist.

Be a Super Sleuth: Finding Image Records in FamilySearch (VGS Live Webinar)
7:00 pm to 8:00 pm LIVE WEBINAR
Guest Speaker: Jill Morelli
Topic: Be a Super Sleuth: Finding Image Records in FamilySearch
We know that FamilySearch has been aggressively digitizing and posting online their holdings; we also know that indexing is lagging behind. What you may not know is that for the past couple of years, FamilySearch has been placing these freshly digitized records first, not in the catalog, but filed under Images. You perhaps have never used Images before. We will explore the records and how they are filed and categorized so you can be a super genealogical sleuth and perhaps even amaze your friends.
Presenter Info: Jill Morelli, CG, CGL, is a writer, lecturer and researcher specializing in Midwest and Scandinavian research and methodologies. She lectures nationally and has been published in the NGSQ, Swedish American Genealogist, and others. In 2017 she founded the Certification Discussion Group, sharing her journey to receive the credential, is past president of the Seattle GS, program director for the Puget Sound chapter of APG, and is a co-founder of Applied Genealogy Institute, where the focus is on practicum-based learning.
