I am excited to bring you three very new lectures to this year’s NGS Conference in Richmond!
"She Bore Her Suffering with Christian Fortitute." Using Religious Newspapers and Periodicals
Wednesday, 7 May 2014, 4:00 p.m., W154
I am also a tremendous fan of digging into resources where few have ventured before, especially when those resources contain information of enormous value to the genealogist. We will discuss one of these incredible collections in “She Bore Her Suffering With Christian Fortitude”: Using Religious Newspapers and Periodicals.
How to Overcome Brick Wall Problems in Pennsylvania German Research
Thursday, 8 May 2014, 2:30 p.m., T248
For anyone that has heard me lecture in the past, do not let my Italian surname fool you – I do love my Germans! And sometimes the most frustrating subset of this ethnic group is the Pennsylvania Germans. Although the New Land beckoned to many German-speaking immigrants, often they settled into subsistence farming with few resources and left few records. I hope to show you some tricks and lesser-used resources that may hold the clues in “How to Overcome Brick Wall Problems in Pennsylvania German Research.” And your ancestors don’t necessarily have to be German to pick up some tips on Pennsylvania resources!
Incorporating Social History into Your Research
Friday, 9 May 2014, 9:30 a.m., F316
Lastly, but most importantly, as genealogists we should be able to tell the stories of our ancestors. Don’t be a BMD Genealogist – Born-Married-Died! Make your ancestors come to life! To do that, you have to understand who they were, and we will delve into that in “Incorporating Social History Into Your Research.”
I am looking forward to sharing my passion with you in beautiful Richmond, Virginia!
