Ladies First: Finding Your Female Ancestors Mini Boot Camp – Saturday, March 5, 2016

It’s no secret that following the female lines in your family tree can often be a frustrating process. Most historical records were created for or about men. Men controlled the government and ran most businesses. Property was listed under a man’s name, and it was the male’s surname that carried to the next generation. But while looking for the ladies can be challenging, it’s not impossible. There’s no shortage of available resources to help trace your maternal ancestry—you just need to know where to look!

Here’s what you will get in Ladies First: Finding Your Female Ancestors Mini Boot Camp:

Learn about solid and successful strategies for finding females in your family tree.

Get practical tips for teasing out maiden names in online and offline resources.

Discover how underused sources such as oral histories, family traditions, diaries, letters and more can help you understand the daily lives of your female ancestors.

Learn brick wall strategies and creative solutions for solving special research problems.

Find the best way to tell “her” story in blogs, profiles, or in a book through bonus writing tips.

Bonus Handout: In addition to the webinar handout, attendees will receive a free resource checklist and another exclusive offer available to only to those who register for the live webinar!

Thomas was laid off after a 25-year career in the information technology field, so he started building his own genealogy-related business called High Definition Genealogy.

His most recent endeavor, Hack Genealogy, is an attempt to “re-purpose today’s technology for tomorrow’s genealogy.”
