I think I will try some of these tips for researching my father's cousin who was at the Ohio State Hospital from 1935 until sometime in the 1970s when the mental hospital was closed. My last record for her is her Social Security application in 1977.
Very interesting presentation!
Fantastic. One of the best case studies and interesting stories presented here.
Great presentation
Brilliant presentation and explanation of the research process, but a very sad story. I loved how it really unfolded as a story whilst still teaching. Everything was very clear, from the actual slides to progression from one stage to the next. A presenter I shall look out for in future.
Great explanation of research and a fascinating but tragic story. Many tend to think of drug addiction as a more recent problem and it is shocking to think of addiction in someone so young. As one who likes to understand the social conditions experienced by my ancestors, that's a topic also worthy of further research.
Fantastic! I learned new sources, how to use them in a complicated search explained very well. One of my brick walls is in 1880’s Yolo, Placer and Fresno Counties, CA. My ancestor was orphaned at age 3 somewhere between 1884 and 1900. Thanks for the insights.
I wasn't able to join you during the live presentation, but just finished watching. That was fantastic. Interesting subject matter and well presented. I was especially facinated by the Predictive Research. Thank you. I'll be watching for your future webinars.
