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:In Her Own Words – Lives of Women Through Diaries\, Journals\, Correspondence and So Much More (Women)
DESCRIPTION:We love to explore the lives of our ancestors. Documenting our female ancestors can often prove more challenging. They are less likely to appear in many government records created at the time – land\, estate\, court\, tax records\, and more. One great resource to learn more about our overshadowed female ancestors is via their own words. Personally written diaries\, journals\, correspondence\, and more\, as found in private collections\, a.k.a. manuscript collections at many archives and library collections\, are priceless. Until recently\, with the advent of Archivegrid and online digitized finding aids\, it had been challenging to Identify and locate these types of materials. These personally written records are now more accessible than ever to us. \nBut women’s “voices” don’t stop with the above! Most of our ancestors didn’t write in diaries or send letters; if they did\, they didn’t survive. They shared their voices in other ways—through annotations on basic household items (calendars\, cookbooks\, and beyond)\, participation in clubs and civic and religious societies\, documented attendance at school\, and myriad other ways. Let’s check out almost 20 places where our female ancestors are documented in non-governmental records. Let them speak to you and share their lives with you directly! \nWe’ll also discuss how you identify and access these materials as relevant to your research.
