Genealogy Series: Forensic Genealogy
While forensic genealogy is often referred to in terms of the use of genetics and DNA it is quite a bit broader. In fact, forensic genealogy covers everything from document analysis to photo identification, to missing heir research, military repatriation and more. Let’s look at a few examples of how to use forensic genealogy in your own research by applying our skills to signature analysis and photo identification.
Genealogy Series: Remarkable Elsie Gaskin
March is Women’s History Month! Let’s put our genealogical skills to the test as we search for Elsie Gaskin, Derry Public Library’s first female (dare I say, “favorite?”) librarian. Elsie took over as librarian after her father, the Reverend William Gaskin, fell ill. We’ll dive into census records, vital records, old newspapers, local history books and more to see how far and wide Elsie roamed.
Genealogy Series: Church Records
What kind of records do churches hold? What clues can a genealogist hope to find at the church? Are records accessible and open to the public or available on a case-by-case basis? Join us to find out how church records can be useful to your research.
