Skill Building: More Than Names and Dates: Social History and Geneaogy
What is social history and what does it have to do with genealogy? Adding social history takes your genealogy from boring facts to a story your family will beg to know. In this presentation, we will look at what is social history and resources that will help you add social history to your genealogical research.
Main Program: 10 Steps to Better Census Research
Think you know everything about the US Census? Most family historians know some of the ins and outs of researching the decennial census, but knowing the census in-depth will make you a better researcher and add richness to your family history research. In this presentation, we will explore how to find that elusive ancestor, where to find more information about the census, and reports that shed light on census information, even those pre-1850 censuses. Learn more about the census so you can use it to create a more in-depth analysis of your ancestor’s life.
