OGS Webinar: Surveying the Community – Finding Clues Hidden Among the Neighbors
July 2, 2018
On the first Thursday of every month, the Ontario Genealogical Society hosts an education webinar. This month, Luana Darby will be presenting a webinar entitled ‘Surveying the Community – Finding Clues Hidden Among the Neighbors’. The presentation will begin at 7pm EST on July 5 and registration is required.
Luana says “Your ancestor’s community holds many clues and patterns that help your fill in missing pieces in your family puzzle. Often the person next door or another family in the community may hold the answers you seek. By using a combination of readily available records such as census, tax, land, maps, and cemetery records we can discover additional clues and avenues of research.”
