SUMMARY:Focus on North Carolina: Introduction to NC Genealogy Research
DESCRIPTION:Are you just starting to research your North Carolina ancestors\, or have you researched for a while and hit brick walls and need a refresher?  This webinar will first review the history of North Carolina\, the various groups that migrated to it\, and some of the major events that impacted the state.  It will then cover many of the different types of records available\, both common and obscure\, how to use them in your genealogical research\, and most importantly where to find them and how to search them. \nNorth Carolina was the site of some of the earliest settlements in this country\, predating the Mayflower settlements by over 30 years.  However\, a treacherous coastline caused Europeans to prefer settling to the north in Virginia and south in South Carolina.  There was migration into NC\, and in 1663 the Carolina Charter was issued creating a vast region known as Carolina with its own government and governmental records. \nCarolina was originally governed by eight Lords Proprietors who ruled from England\, followed by being governed as a Royal Colony.  Although a number of records for this time period remain in England\, most of the records of genealogical interest were local and remained local\, and a surprising number still exist today.  After the Revolutionary War\, the new State of North Carolina continued with many of those local institutions and their records\, along with creating their own new ones. \nMany of these records will be found online\, but quite a few have never been digitized and will require visits to various repositories\, especially the State Archives of North Carolina.  Record groups discussed include vital records (birth\, marriage\, death)\, land records\, court records\, state government records\, and military records. \n\n	*** IMPORTANT ***  This webinar is part of our Focus on North Carolina series of four webinars.

SUMMARY:Uncovering Hidden History: The Freedmen's Bureau Records (African American)
DESCRIPTION:The Civil War had a profound impact on many lives\, particularly those from Delaware to Texas. The Freedmen’s Bureau Records offer a treasure trove of information\, extending beyond the experiences of freed slaves. While these records do contain valuable information about freedmen\, they also provide insight into the lives of all impoverished Southerners. \nDiscovering Ancestors in Unexpected Ways \nIf your family tree includes Confederate soldiers who were wounded or killed in action\, you may find their surviving family members in these records. They may have received rations\, been declared destitute\, or sought assistance. Additionally\, you may uncover records of: \n\nImmigrant ancestors\nFree Persons of Color (FPOC)\nIndividuals attempting to reclaim abandoned land (typically “white” males/females)\nEmployment contracts\nSchool attendance\nHospital admission\nCivil War-era unions (marriages)\nMilitary service\nCourt suits (the bureau sometimes augmented the local court system)\n\nPersonal Correspondence: A Window into the Past \nPersonal correspondence within these records can be emotionally powerful\, as it often refers to individuals who were illegally enslaved\, non-payment for work performed\, and other personal struggles. \nTransportation Records: A Key to Unlocking Family History \nDon’t overlook the significance of transportation records! They can connect your ancestors from distant locations (MS\, LA\, FL\, and beyond) back to their birthplaces in VA\, NC\, or SC. These records have the potential to reveal new chapters in your family’s history\, sparking excitement and anticipation in your genealogical journey.
