SUMMARY:The Importance of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:The Importance of Belonging \npresented by Diana Crisman Smith \nMany people seem to believe that joining organizations is out of style and unnecessary.  In the case of genealogical societies\, however\, Diana strongly disagrees.  There are many reasons to join societies\, and there is something for everyone somewhere. We’ll discuss various types of societies and what’s in them for YOU. AND why they need YOU. \nDiana Crisman Smith has been researching since childhood and has served as a lay librarian at her local Family History Center for more than 20 years. She has been active as a researcher\, speaker\, writer and teacher since the 1980s. \nSince 2010 she has written online courses on a variety of topics including: Land Records\, Civil War Pension Records\, Military Records\, Death Records\, RootsMagic\, Danish Research Basics and Scandinavian Research. She currently has two courses at Lisa Alzo’s ResearchWriteConnect Academy; Using City Directories and Vital Events 101\, with more to come. She has also done crash courses on her favorite Midwestern states. \nShe has written for numerous genealogical publications\, including current regular columns in the National Genealogical Society News Magazine and the Association of Professional Genealogists’ APG Quarterly and contributions to a wide range of local and national periodicals. Diana penned a genealogy column that ran for two years in the 27 editions of the Cleveland (Ohio) Sun Newspapers and is the listed author of Finding Your Danish Ancestors: A Primer for Research & History from Heritage Productions\, Toronto\, Canada. \nDiana and her late husband enjoyed speaking at conferences around the country (and at sea) for the past 30+ years and she is now expanding her genealogical endeavors—speaking\, writing\, teaching and researching—after concluding a career in software consulting. She hopes to get back to sea for another genealogy cruise one of these days. \nHandout \nChat 1 \nChat 2 \n
