What happens when the subject of your genealogical research joins the carnival, moves across the country, says he is six years younger than he actually is, marries a couple of times and then dies suddenly leaving a wave of confusion in his wake?
Join us for a round table discussion to share research problems, pitfalls and solutions.
What happens when your family research turns into fodder for a true crime novel? Join us for a case study as we attempt to puzzle out the clues using old newspapers, autopsy reports, mug shots, inmate records and more.
Content Warning: This research is not suitable for all audiences and records include mention of sexual violence, child abuse, murder, abortion, self harm and more.

Nothing quite brings a person to life like the records from their day-to-day activities. Not only can school records give you an idea of what daily life was like for your ancestor, but occasionally you can get access to that much sought after yearbook image or yearbook quote. Join us to delve into how to locate school records. Hint: Like everything else, they're not all in one place.
The best thing about tracking down the history of a house is that your research subject usually stays in one place!

Join us to delve into the history that is underfoot each day.
