Jane MacNamara is speaking on One Thing Leads to Another: Research techniques to help you follow the right ancestral trail
"Family history research is all about detective work imaging what records might exist around a life event, finding out how to find the records, gleaning every bit of information from them and letting those records lead you to the next source. Whether you are new to genealogy, or you've been at it for a while, this workshop will reinvigorate your research with new ideas and techniques. And if much of your research has been online we'll definitely expand your horizons. There will be lots of practical examples and class participation."Jane who writes about genealogy at wherethestorytakesme.ca is on my personal list of top ten Canadian genealogists for her educational activities like the Toronto Genealogy Summer Camp.
What you may not know, I didn't, is that Jane went to most of public school and all of high school in nearby Guelph and spent one summer during university working at the Wellington County Museum.
Forthcoming events in this series are:
Tammy Tipler-Priolo will conduct an Ancestor Investigator Biography Writing Workshop on Saturday, October 24, 2:00 pm
