Seminar: 9:00 am to 2:45 pm
9:30 – 10:30: Brian Rhinehart Topic: Navigating the Records from The War of 1812 - From bounty land to pensions, there are no shortage of genealogical records for soldiers from The War of 1812. Learn how and why these records were created, how to make sense of them, and what those records can contain for your ancestors!
10:30 - 10:45: 15-minute BREAK
10:45 – 11:45: Annette Burke Lyttle Topic: Turn Family History Facts Into Stories You Can Share. - You’ve uncovered lots of wonderful facts about your ancestors and you want to share them with your family, but pedigree charts put them to sleep. You need to turn those facts into stories. Does the idea of trying to tell the stories of your ancestors seem like too big a job? Two simple principles can get you started writing your family stories: look at what the facts imply and “take small bites.” This presentation will introduce a four-step process for putting those principles into action, allowing you to share your family stories with ease.
11:45 - 12:30: Lunch (on your own)
12:30 – 1:30: Judy Russell Topic: Doing Time-Prison Records as Genealogy Resources - The brickwalls of a family tree are no match for prison walls. From intake photo to receipts for cash and clothes when they were released, prisoners in jails and prisons were recorded and documented, often in stunning detail. Learn what records may exist – and where – about your family’s black sheep.
