Researching War of 1812-Era Ancestors with Kathryn Marshall, PhD (General Meetings)
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Online via Zoom - Registration Required
Sandwiched between two wars that were fought with the Barbary pirates off "the shores of Tripoli," over 450,000 Americans fought in the War of 1812. Hundreds of thousands more served in state militias which, in theory, included all free adult males of military age. On the opposing side were Canadians, British, and a large proportion of Irish personnel. Battles raged from Canada to New Orleans, involving much of the population as suppliers, freighters, soldiers and sailors, pensioners and their widows, traitors and spies -- about whom there are military records. Learn the best web sites, special collections, and strategies for mining the extraordinary depth of records from this pivotal era in our nation's past. "Don't give up the fight!"

Are You the Rest of Someone Else's Story? with Jacqi Stevens (General Meetings)
7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Online via Zoom - Registration Required
While we may see genealogical research as a solitary pursuit, it is actually better played as a team sport. Just as that other cousin became the one who got to keep grandma’s treasured keepsakes and photos, there are people out there who hold the key to fill in the blanks in your family’s story. Like Paul Harvey’s fabled “The Rest of the Story,” the details you know may turn out to break down another person’s brick wall. The key is sharing. This session will explore best practices, tools, and resources—as well as hazards to avoid—through examples gleaned from researchers just like you.
