February 2021 HELP Class

2/5/2021

 
H.E.L.P. CLASSES ON ZOOM - JOIN IN FOR THE INFO!
 
GSNOCC Membership Chair Ferris Worden calls the H.E.L.P. Class “a deep  dive into research topics.”  Well, maybe not a deep dive, but certainly a short, refreshing  plunge into a variety of topics!
 
Our next class will be on Wed. February 10th at 7pm. For this one, our continuing  series entitled “Finding Family History in Unusual Places” will explore census records other than the ones you are most familiar with and use all the time.  We will cover sources such as state, non-population, and school censuses, to name a few.  
 
Continuing through the year, future class topics include legal documents, as well as, military and governmental records.
 
Remember, short class notes will be posted in the "Members Only” section of the GSNOCC website  a few days prior to class.
 
You won’t want to miss out on this perk of membership, so mark your calendars for our H.E.L.P. Classes on the second Wed. of each month at 7pm.

When:  Wednesday, February 17, 2021 at 7:00 pm.
Speaker:  Michael Lacopo
Title:  Incorporating Social History Into Your Research

Description: Family history should be more than names and dates. What motivated our ancestors? Why did they migrate? Who did they interact with? How do social customs of another era affect our research? Social history and its bearing on genealogical research will be covered as well as how every serious researcher should maintain a “must read” bibliography. And where do we find what to read or explore regarding our ancestors’ social history? Find out!

Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea, and join us for a great learning experience! The H.E.L.P. class is one of your membership benefits from GSNOCC.

Our next class will be on Wednesday, January 13th at 7pm. Our series entitled “Finding Family History in Unusual Places” will continue into 2021.

Next up in January will be directories- all kinds of directories you may not have thought about using.
​
In February we will explore census records- no, not those US Federal population records. There are a lot of OTHER census records we usually forget about.


Obscure legal documents will be covered in March and April. More on them later.

So mark your calendars for our H.E.L.P. classes on the second Wed of each month at 7pm. Remember- short handout notes will be posted in the “members only” section of the GSNOCC website.

The Zoom link will be sent after the first of the year and will also be available on the GSNOCC website.

Happy Holidays to everyone!!

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.

Graduating from Brigham Young University with a degree in Family History and later receiving a master’s degree in Library Science from San Jose State University, she brings a broad base of knowledge and experience to her clients and audience. She is the owner of Lineages by Luana, a genealogical research company which focuses on US/Canada and Western European research. She has lectured at many genealogical and historical conferences, including NGS. FGS, RootsTech, UGA, BYU and ICAPGen.
