We will be showing two taped genealogy webinars:
Unlocking Your Roots: Starting Your Genealogy Journey 1-2:20 Learn how to start your genealogy journey or update your skills using a repeatable research process. Begin with what you already know, frame your research question, explore essential records, and organize your discoveries. Genealogy researcher Barbara Coakley will be presenting.
Cluster Research or Discovering you are Related to the Whole Block 2:30 to 3:30 As Aristotle noted, “Man is by nature a social animal” -he has family, society, and throughout history he has moved with them. This session includes tips, tricks, and examples of how researching the neighborhood and other associates of your ancestors can further your own research. Genealogy researcher Jessica M. Trotter will be presenting.
The programs are provided by the Genealogy Education Network (GEN), a multi-state initiative to connect libraries/genealogical societies and provide educational and research opportunities that is spearheaded by the Genealogy Center of the Waco-McLennan County Library. Co-sponsors include the Central Texas Genealogical Society and the Texas State Genealogical Society.
