About this webinar
Tales of illegitimacy, divorce, and desertion aren't limited to soap operas and modern reality television. Discovering trails that lead to unanticipated events can be shocking, confusing, and exciting all at the same time. This session will explore how genealogists can utilize the law, conflict resolution, and tools like date calculators and timelines to help build a clearer understanding of some potentially challenging historical situations.

Thank you, Jennifer! Excellent handout, presentation & very interesting case studies! Thanks to BCG for providing the wonderful presenters & the opportunity to hear them.
What an outstanding presentation! And thank you, Jennifer, for the wonderful resources!
Fascinating stories using such great research techniques. Thank you!
Really appreciated the tips on how to resolve conflicts in the information gathered.
Very interesting to see her try and untangle the mysteries.
This was a fascinating webinar. The information was presented in a clear, concise manner; it was easy to follow the analysis of the speaker. It is a reminder to me not to focus on what I know, but on what else I can find out. I had a situation where I discounted a death certificate in AZ because the informant was married in NY. I didn't think it was logical since the family was from OH. After taking a closer look at the marriage license, I realized both bride and groom were from OH.
This was a fun presentation with wonderful examples of reasonably exhaustive research.
I especially liked the 3 case studies in hidden stories. Many useful techniques. Thank you.
