Resolving the Mystery: Un-Puzzling Birthing History

Before the 1900s

Genealogy involves identifying the birth of all ancestors regardless of their life length. Prior to the 20th century’s mandated birth registrations, this task might appear to have been impossible – a mystery. In case study format, this lecture uses a variety of record sources combined with oral testimony, to uncover the mystery. This is a ‘how to’, problem-solving strategy lecture to validate the birthing history of a 19th-century woman. The strategies presented provide useful techniques to apply to your research.

This program will be recorded and sent out to patrons after the program.
