Where:  Online via Zoom
Speaker:  Mary Kircher Roddy  (www.mkrgenealogy.com)
Topic:  A Decree of (Temporary) Divorce - My Life Without Ancestry.com
Register for Zoom meeting: https://tinyurl.com/gsnocc202101

My bank balance was thin and my patience with paying the faceless corporate entity was even thinner.  Learn how I found free substitute records for many of the records I used to pay for at Ancestry.com, and how I discovered some new sites as well.  My temporary "divorce" forced me to examine my genealogy from a different viewpoint with a fresh perspective.  You, too, can recharge your genealogy, and save a few pennies as well.

Speaker:  Luana Darby
Topic:  Surveying the Community – Finding Clues Hidden Among the Neighbors

​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.

Zoom connection information will be emailed to you upon registration


Land records form the largest group of records for our ancestors and often leave the only clues to marriages, deaths, and relationships. This talk will begin with the formation of our country. We will briefly cover the original distribution of land and discuss the differences between State Land States and Federal Land States and the laws that governed land distribution.  
After land moved from government ownership to individual ownership, the transfer of property was handled at the local level, primarily by the counties, using deeds. We will continue our exploration of land through the use of deeds. You will learn how to locate land records, what to look for, and what you might find. ​
