July Meeting: Unusual Source Records for Genealogical Research with Sue Kaufman

July Meeting: Unusual Source Records for Genealogical Research with Sue Kaufman.

Program overview: Some of the more interesting bits of researching our families are the stories that we hear and the stories that we discover.  Through the documents, it is often us, the researcher, who weaves those stories from the names, dates, places from those documents we discover while doing family history.  The stories create the memorable bits of our family; the bits that can often get an “oh my gosh – I need to run they are going to talk about genealogy” relative interested in family history enough to say “hey that IS a cool document.”  You know then you have accomplished one of the most important goals of researching our families; passing on those family stories with documentation.

The sources presented in this presentation are geared toward that goal, getting the uninterested interested.  These sources offer unusual documentation that accomplish the specific task of family history research – placing an individual in a specific time period, in a specific place.  Beyond the usual places to look, these and other types of beyond the normal resources offer interest to those boring family charts.
