SUMMARY:Our Poor Ancestors: Strategies for Finding Records and the Stories Those Records Can Tell
DESCRIPTION:Our Poor Ancestors: Strategies for Finding Records and the Stories Those Records Can Tell \npresented by Pam Vestal \nResearching financially-struggling ancestors often requires a strategic approach using unfamiliar records. Whether they were born poor or fell upon hard times\, we’ll explore their stories through town minutes\, almshouse\, sheriff’s\, and apprenticeship records\, legal and financial documents\, and much more. We’ll also consider indirect evidence\, such as changes in crop prices and payment ledgers that may suggest reasons for our ancestors’ struggles. \nPam Vestal is a professional genealogist and speaker who turned her focus to her longtime love of genealogy after a 20-year writing career. Her articles have appeared in the National Genealogical Society Magazine and The Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly\, and her lectures take her from coast to coast. Pam specializes in conducting genealogical research and then transforming that information into illustrated stories that even non-genealogists can enjoy. \n  \n

SUMMARY:“_____ward Ho!” Basics: Finding & Tracking Early American Settlers pre-1850 Part 1
DESCRIPTION:“_____ward Ho!” Basics: Finding & Tracking Early American Settlers pre-1850 Part 1 \npresented by Phillip Adderley \nPart ONE! \n“____ward Ho!” Basics: Finding & Tracking Early American Settlers pre-1850\nWhile the predominant movement of American settlers was–on aggregate–westward\, many pre-1850 settlers migrated northward\, southward\, and sometimes eastward. Most migrations occurred in small groups banded together for protective security and collective assistance. Although every-name federal censuses beginning in 1850 (for free persons) and 1870 for all persons help point us backward in time\, a researcher needs contemporary records to identify and correlate ancestors from one location to the next. \nPhilip Burnett Adderley is a retired professional genealogist\, author\, and lecturer. He holds a B.S. and B.A. in physics and mathematics\, as a Robert E. Lee Scholar at Washington and Lee University; and an M.S.E.E. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

SUMMARY:Country Doctors of Arkansas
DESCRIPTION:Country Doctors of Arkansas  \npresented by Dr Sam Taggert\, author\, MD \nCountry Doctors hold a special place in our lives. Most of these men and women are originally from small towns and make the conscious decision to return. Each little town has its own story with diverse characters and dramas. The country doctor often acts as part of the glue that holds these small towns together\, acting as the father confessor\, a priest of technology and the narrator of the town story. We will discuss their evolution over the last two centuries and ask questions about the future. \nSam Taggart is a family doctor\, raised in the White River Delta in Augusta\, Arkansas. After medical school at UAMS\, he completed a Family Practice Residency. He retired in 2013 as the senior partner and founder of Family Practice Associates of Benton. In 2012 he wrote a book describing a narrative history of health and disease I Arkansas over the last 200 years. The book is The Public’s Health. \nIn 2015\, he created the Arkansas Physician’s Oral History Project. As a part of this project\, he went around the state interviewing country physicians to create a video record of their lives and the practice of medicine in rural Arkansas for the last 75 yrs. In June of 2021 he published Country Doctors of Arkansas\, as one of the products of that study. In April 2023\, he published For Every Family\, A Family Doctor a narrative history of the modern family medicine movement in Arkansas since 1947. \nHe and his wife\, Dr. Annette Enderlin are presently working on a book called Against the Odds: Arkansas Women in Medicine before 1972. \nCHAT \nMembers\, please login to see the video:Zoom meeting video:

SUMMARY:Manuscript Collections
DESCRIPTION:Manuscript Collections  \npresented by Dr Deborah Abbott\, PhD \nManuscripts are original records and are often overlooked. They serve as primary sources that provide first-hand documentation and evidence of events that shape the development of a society\, community and/or families. These records can be found in libraries\, archives and other repositories. Manuscript collections usually are not completely indexed; therefore\, it takes time and patience to sift through the various documents that you might find. Knowing exactly where and what will be found in manuscript collections can be tricky\, but when found\, they can create a gold mine of information pertaining to your ancestors and family history. Learn the value of manuscript collections\, where to find them and how to use these fascinating resources. \nDeborah A. Abbott\, PhD\, is a professional genealogist specializing in genealogical methodology\, manuscript collections\, and African American family research. She is a member of the Cuyahoga County (OH) Archives Commission\, the Lakeview Cemetery Community Outreach Committee (Cleveland\, OH)\, past president of the African American Genealogical Society\, Cleveland\, Ohio\, and a retired professor of Counseling from Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland. \nShe holds both the BS and MEd degrees from Tuskegee University and the PhD degree from Kent State University.

SUMMARY:Beginner Colonial-Era Research\, Through the Life of Anne Marbury Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION:Beginner Colonial-era Research\, Through the Life of Anne Marbury Hutchinson \npresented by Kim Richardson \nInformation and examples for the beginner Colonial-era researcher are interwoven into this story of Anne Hutchinson\, who emigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634 and was a champion of freedom far ahead of her time. Wrongly banished and excommunicated\, she was a well-acknowledged leader among the founders of Rhode Island – the progressive\, daring group who created the charter that served as the blueprint for our nation’s Constitution. \nIn her last days\, she and most of her children moved to the Bronx and were murdered. Only her daughter Susanna survived; she was kidnapped and ransomed. This amazing account of the beginnings of this great nation is not to be missed and will provide information about colonial-era record-keeping and our nation’s birth which will assist with researching those way-way-back ancestors. \nKim Richardson enjoys serving the genealogy community by coaching and enabling others to do their own research successfully. She assists other genealogists to accomplish their goals and helps clients solve genealogy mysteries. Kim created the Brick Wall Buster Cards to show others her secret to solving tough genealogy problems. She regularly writes for various genealogy society magazines and wrote the “Mississippi Research Guide” for Family Tree Magazine and researches for Finding Your Roots and Who Do You Think You Are? \nHANDOUT \nCHAT \nMembers\, please login to see the video:Zoom meeting video:\n\n

SUMMARY:Using Narrative "Blueprints" to Structure Writing Projects
DESCRIPTION:Using Narrative “Blueprints” to Structure Writing Projects \npresented by Kim Richardson\, Tennessee Genealogical Society \nSay farewell to the dreaded writer’s block when confronted with a blank screen. This presentation explores a unique method that makes any writing process easier and stress-free. The session teaches how to create a visual framework\, or “blueprint\,” for narratives\, proofs\, and biographies. This technique assists in constructing a written draft\, enables smooth reorganization\, and ensures clarity and conciseness. \nThis method goes beyond broad concept-outlining and ultimately crafts a detailed sketch of the narrative BEFORE typing on the computer begins. Writers will plug in pieces of information and identify which to include and exclude. The pieces of information can then be reorganized to find the best possible arrangement for presenting material to the audience. Sentences are also formulated to use in the first draft which defeats writer’s block. The result is a narrative “blueprint” which can be effortlessly transformed into a well-structured\, polished final version of a written narrative. \nKim Richardson enjoys serving the genealogy community by coaching and enabling others to do their own research successfully. She assists other genealogists to accomplish their goals and helps clients solve genealogy mysteries. Kim created the Brick Wall Buster Cards to show others her secret to solving tough genealogy problems. She also wrote the “Mississippi Research Guide” for Family Tree Magazine and researches for Finding Your Roots and Who Do You Think You Are? \nCompany: Brick Wall Buster Cards\nURL: www.brickwallbustercards.com \nHANDOUT \nCHAT \n

SUMMARY:Genealogical Treasures at NARA-St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:Genealogical Treasures at NARA-St. Louis \npresented by Lori Miller\, APG\, Military Researcher\, lecturer \nBoy\, doesn’t the NARA-St. Louis Archival facility and NPRC have military files? Why would I want to see them\, aren’t they filled with only troop information? \nCome find out the difference between the two sides of NARA-St. Louis\, how to plan a visit for research\, and learn that you might find some unexpected genealogy treasures that can help you in the search for family history in a military file. \nLori Berdak Miller is a military researcher/genealogist located in the St. Louis area. Her love of genealogy started in high school back in the days of Soundex and no internet\, to learn more of her dad’s Slovak/Rusyn roots. Combining her proud Air Force Brat blood and history degree led her to start Redbird Research LLC in 2006 to aid in searches at NARA ST LOUIS. \nLori has helped museums\, associations\, authors\, tv shows\, military collectors\, genealogists and families find answers to their military questions. She recently was filmed in an international documentary showing her work. She also has taught classes for SLIG\, IGHR (with Michael Strauss) and lectures for groups and societies. \nShe is a member of Association of Professional Genealogists\, Missouri Genealogy Society\, Ohio Genealogy Society\, Czechoslovak Genealogy Society International\, St. Louis Genealogy Society\, Orders and Medals Society of America\, International German Genealogy Partnership\, a Civil War Roundtable and other local and state societies. \nHandout \nCHAT \n
