Uncovering and Documenting the Scandals in the Family Tree

In the Feb 7th session, I reveal a scandal I discovered in my family tree.  I share how to document private notes versus public comments and fact notes.  I dive into wills, deeds, and court records.  I demonstrate how I use MyTreeTags
.  I also share a follow up from the last session in January, showing the spreadsheet I created to identify the people enslaved by my family members.

And I share, again, how (and why it is important) to use one of my favorite resources - the county boundary formation maps on MapsOfUs.org.

New Jersey Quaker Research and Using Family Tree Maker

In the Feb 16th session, I share a brand new tool tip I learned about in the Ancestry Card Catalog.  (Yes.  Even I still learn new things every single day.)  I take a dive into the lives of some of my New Jersey ancestors and look at the Quaker and New Jersey state records available for learning more about them and their families.  I spend some time searching Newspapers.com and showing some of the tips and tricks there.  And, I demonstrate how I enter the discoveries I make into Family Tree Maker.

British Research on Ancestry and FamilySearch

In the Feb 25th session, I work with some of my British ancestors.

Highlights include:
-how to find a film number from the index to Ancestry to the FamilySearch site
-how to find a FamilySearch Center near you
-how to keep track of what research you need to do on your next visit to a FS Center
