Live, in-depth, and interactive
genealogy webinars
GenWebinars instructors David M. McCorkle and Diane L. Richard will be giving a total of 4 lectures online followed by live Q&A at the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS) National Conference. The 3 day conference theme is "Fighting Erasure: Staying Visible by Keeping African American Genealogy and History in Focus."
Historical maps can help identify your ancestor's neighbors, migration routes, churches, where they might be buried, and much more. This lecture will review the types of maps available online, where to find them, what they mean, and how to use various free mapping tools to combine different types of maps and data in order to create your own maps based on your research.
We’ll explore almost 30 different places where we might find documentation of death. We are not talking about obituaries, cemetery & probate records, death certificates, or the usual records. We are discussing discovering evidence of your ancestors’ death via ledgers (several kinds), and records created by burial societies, poor records, funeral homes, and much more.
