Speaker: Barbara Crockett Lagasse
The speaker will cover key concepts to include: “Geography for Genealogists” – identify possibly migration paths and where are the records located? Lessons in Deed Sleuthing, the importance of the “FAN” Club; taxes tell tales, searching in military records for family
and other “gems” with a sibling case study; clues in other lineage society offerings and religious ties in tracing your ancestry – challenge conventional thought process. Finally, keep an open mind and revisit the “known.”
