About this webinar
The records we use are filled with “trivia,” bits and pieces of information that seem to have no “genealogical” value—at least not until we become more innovative in our research and analysis. Each piece of trivia in every document is an opportunity waiting to be connected to something else. Our ability to resolve problems depends upon our ability to make those connections. This class explores eighteen types of records and the kind of hidden clues each offers to help us resolve problems of identity, kinship, and origin.

Amazing as always. I have a lot of work to do now.
Wonderful webinar! I learned so much over the records I tend to think are not very important. Can't wait to see the new things I find!
Absolutely fantastic!
A must watch!
As always, great lecture.
What a fantastic lecture. Thank you very much. I will definitely be at the next class.
This was an excellent webinar and should not be missed by anyone who does genealogical research. Thank you so much.
I truly enjoyed this presentation. As a former DAR Registrar and Lineage Researcher for DAR, you have reinforced many things I felt were correct in searching for families through other sources such as Estate Sales. Thank you so much.\nKJ Proctor-Corbett
