Fall Seminar

For our Fall Seminar we welcome back Dr. Michael Lacopo who will share a variety of search strategies using the internet and newspapers. He will also talk about searching for those invisible ancestors and about manuscripts.

Session 1:   Strategic Searching: Using Internet Indexes and Search Engines Wisely.   The advent of online databases has been an incredible resource for genealogists, but is your ancestor still missing? Take control of your search on Ancestry and FamilySearch and learn about other Internet tricks to find your people!

Session 2:   “She Bore her Suffering with Christian Fortitude”: Using Religions Newspapers and Periodicals.   Denominational newspapers are incredible sources as they often contain obituaries and biographical information decades before traditional community newspapers did so. Learn where to find these gems, what they contain, and how to use them.
