Have You Written Your Tombstone?
One of the great joys of genealogy is discovering an ancestor’s
tombstone, but are you prepared to glean every bit of genealogical
information from the tombstone inscription?
This lecture discusses the wide array of information found on
tombstones and how to use the findings as a stepping stone to further
research.
Muddy Roads, Sick Babies, and Poor Accommodations. As Overland Journey. Vermont to Illinois, 1834
Many migrated westward, but few left a record of how or why. By
exploring motivations, the journey, and what they did when they
arrived, researchers will be better prepared to analyze and reconstruct
their own ancestors’ migrations.
One Piece Upon the Pine Plain, Liberty of a Cartway and Apples for Life. The Genealogical Value of Deeds.
Are you using deeds to bypass that brick wall? Not only can deeds
be an extraordinary source of genealogical information, they will
occasionally provide a fascinating glimpse into our ancestors’
lives and values.
**Will prepare special lecture topics upon demand**
