TITLE: Think like a genealogist: Creative search techniques to help you follow the right ancestral trail

Family history research is all about detective work—imagining what records might exist around a life event, figuring out how to find the records, gleaning every bit of information from them—and letting those records lead you to the next source. Whether you are new to genealogy, or you’ve been at it for a while, this session will reinvigorate your research with new ideas and techniques. And if much of your research has been online—we’ll definitely expand your horizons.
