About this webinar
This case study demonstrates reasonably exhaustive and whole-family research linking three generations of the Burkhart family. Successive generations lived in Maryland, Ohio, and Missouri. Missing or unavailable church, vital, and census records veil relationships. This story begins in eighteenth century Maryland and ends in the late nineteenth century in Missouri. Through the years, probate, court, and land records connect people to their families of origin.

Very well presented information! I love cool case studies like this
Such good modeling of teasing out same name family members.
Really clear pathways laid out by Ms McMillan for the evidence she found and where, and what it proved.
Very interesting
Excellent!
I enjoyed how the research into who these people were found to be stayed on task and didn't dart haphazardly from one record to another. Very organized.
Very informative and appreciate that she mentioned how much erroneous information abounds. It is extremely important to research thoroughly.
This was a wonderful session! The variety of sources considered, the gathering/noting of clues along the way, and the use of maps (for proximity, historical county locations and migration paths) clearly shows how the conclusions were able to be drawn.
