SUMMARY:Women in Ledgers (Women)
DESCRIPTION:Genealogy researchers do not often examine small business ledgers containing incredible information about our female ancestors (and sometimes children). We’ll talk about why ledgers can be invaluable to your research – there is an incredible amount of genealogically leverageable material to be found in ledgers. You can learn so much about your family\, the neighborhood\, other local business proprietors\, and so much more through these records. Many examples of women documented in ledgers will be included.  It is a rare surviving small business where women are not listed.  Even hatters & tailors (male-focused businesses) list women as they purchase items for sons. \nCheck out ledgers if you need a resource rich in FAN club info. The barter system created a web of relationships involving many in the community. Store\, business (e.g.\, hotels\, livery\, stable\, distillery\, blacksmith\, etc.)\, and health-related (e.g.\, physician\, insane asylum\, etc.) ledgers can link family members and provide many interesting details invaluable to your family history narrative. Relationships are sometimes noted – e.g.\, Tom\, son of William. Enslaved people (and location) are sometimes called out in physician’s ledgers as they were treated. A livery ledger might note Deaths or weddings as a horse is rented. Distillery ledgers show everyone seemed to buy whisky – including preachers and physicians.  \nDepending on where your ancestors lived and when different goods were bought and sold at the local stores. Different industries (e.g.\, naval stores) proliferated in select communities\, and ledgers reflect such.  \nFree persons of color and enslaved are often mentioned as well — individuals often underrepresented in official government documents. Ledgers are personal and intimate; they include everyday little details about your family that will be found nowhere else. A ledger just may poke a hole in that brick wall you’ve been staring at.

SUMMARY:How Far?  How Heavy?  How Much?  When Did It Happen?  Learn About the Different Numbers Our Ancestors Used in Their Daily Lives (General)
DESCRIPTION:Genealogical researchers are always coming across numbers when researching their ancestors\, but often don’t know what they mean.  How far is a distance of 43 poles? Is a Troy ounce the same as a modern ounce? Is hogshead a real term or something the Beatles made up? How about money – was 10 pounds in Pennsylvania the same as 10 pounds in North Carolina? Even calendar dates can get confusing – what do they mean by February 15\, 1745/6? This webinar will discuss the history and meaning of different measurements like lengths\, weights\, distances\, and volume\, as well as money and calendars to make your research more meaningful.

SUMMARY:Death Records by a Different Name (General)
DESCRIPTION:We are not talking about obituaries\, cemetery records\, probate records\, death certificates\, Social Security death index data\, private correspondence\, or bibles-the records most of us regularly use to document the date and place of death. \nWe are embarking on a thrilling journey\, exploring the many other categories of records where deaths might be documented. Remember to consider where such information might be recorded. Have you considered library circulation records? What about the ledgers of marble workers\, woodworkers\, or undertakers? There are many unexpected places where we might find death documented – have you pursued them all in the quest to document your ancestors’ deaths? Are there still a few rocks that have not yet been turned over and that might be part of a reasonably exhaustive search? \nAs we delve into almost 30 so-called substitute records documenting death\, we’ll focus on some slightly more common record types that some researchers occasionally pursue\, such as poor records\, funeral homes\, etc.\, while delving into some less researched and quite unexpected hidden gems. \nDeath records are so important to our research. We must determine when someone “should” be last found alive in records and cull information about assets\, family members\, geographic connections\, and more. If possible\, do explore where this often requisite information might be found – if nothing else\, odds are that you will also add some additional “color” to the tapestry of your ancestors’ lives as you pursue this so-called vital record.
