  • "Digging into Historical Records on the Giant Genealogy Websites"
  • Speaker: Sunny J. Morton, Genealogy Educator and Award-Winning Writer and Editor
  • This session offers a close-up comparative look at historical records on Ancestry, FamilySearch, FindMyPast, and MyHeritage and considers how similar-looking records might actually be different when used on different websites. The specific geographical and record-type strengths of each site will be presented, along with head-to-head comparisons for major U. S records collections and others. Live demonstrations will help you dig more effectively for the records you need on each site.

  • "Mysterious Relatives"
  • Speaker: Ari Wilkins, Genealogist and Library Associate at Dallas Public Library
  • Many researchers encounter mysterious persons living in the household of a relative, or a letter signed by an unknown cousin. As a researcher, it is important to investigate and understand the relationship between these strangers and your person of interest. This lecture will discuss cluster research methodology.
