Did your ancestor have a great idea and apply for a patent? It could give you insight into the mind and creative process of the inventor. Christine Cohen will show how the information contained in applying for and acquiring patents can add interesting details to your ancestors’ lives and assist you with your research. Find details about citizenship status, maiden names, legal name changes, death date, heirs, and employers; plus, how popular the invention was in catalogs, newspapers, and city directories.Christine's interest in genealogy began in 1977 with the airing of the TV mini-series "Roots" and was piqued when she found a typed pedigree chart of her Dutch heritage from the New Netherlands in the 1660's. She is a a native Californian and a graduate of UCLA in Political Science. Christine is a long time member of the Whittier Area Genealogical Society and currently the Program Director.
