The Time Machine: Offbeat Resources for Family Historians
Featuring Guest Speakers: Dear MYRTLE & Cousin Russ
The Program: Exhausted the usual genealogical record sets? Got a seemingly unsurmountable brick wall? Let's step back in time and place to discover documents that mention your ancestors. We'll go bravely where most other family historians have not gone before. This interactive session will loosen the constraints of 21st century thinking, to see what's possible to uncover in previous centuries. Upon our return, attendees will be equipped with insider knowledge of how to find off-beat, unusual record sets.
Guests Speakers: Dear MYRTLE is the nom de plume of Pat Richley-Erickson, who serves as president of the APG Chapter in Second Life (virtual), and is the author of the award-winning DearMYRTLE Genealogy Blog where the focus is beginning genealogy topics. Russ Worthington, known popularly as Cousin Russ, is a FamilyTree Maker expert, writing and posting videos at the Family Tree Maker User Blog.
