Summary of presentations:
- "Hidden Treasures: Finding Your Ancestors in Unexpected Places" explores often-overlooked records that can reveal rich details about your family’s past. Many researchers focus on vital records, censuses, and immigration documents, but countless other sources hold clues to your ancestors’ lives. From town meeting minutes to military rolls to land records, and probate files, this presentation highlights lesser-known sources that can break down research brick walls and uncover stories waiting to be found.
- "Fool’s Gold: When the Treasure Map is Wrong" examines the pitfalls of misleading genealogical sources and how to separate fact from fiction in family history research. Not all records are accurate. Errors in documents, conflicting vital records, or mistaken family stories can easily lead researchers astray. This presentation explores common types of incorrect or conflicting sources, strategies for evaluating their reliability, and methods for proving (or disproving) the information they contain.
