When
Megan Smoleynyak Smoleynyak talks, many people like to listen!
She recently did a
webinar for LegacyFamilyTree titled Neglected
History where she walks audience members through a handful of cases she has
been working on to show how with a little patience, a healthy dose of
curiosity, and knowledge of which records are available, any of us can ferret
out the truth about our ancestors. She taught about:
·
Newspapers
·
City
directories
·
Immigration
records
·
Census
records
·
Social
Security Death Index
·
Cemetery
records
·
and
much more
Until 13 August
2012 you can view this webinar for FREE. It runs 1 hour 9 minutes and can be accessed here.
If you caught the
webinar live or have just watched the archived version – what one thing did she
say that made you “perk up” and write a note about as you hadn’t really thought
about looking at those records before or you were “reminded” how great they can
be! Let us know!
