SUMMARY:Cedar Hill Genealogy Society Monthly Program
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Family Naming Customs \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Bernard Meisner \n\n\n\nLocation: New Library: 450 Pioneer Trail in Cedar Hill (lower-level event room) \n\n\n\nNames are a valuable source of information. They can indicate gender\, marital status\, birthplace\, nationality\, ethnicity\, religion\, and position within a family or even within a society. However\, naming practices vary enormously across the globe. If you know your ancestors followed a particular naming custom\, you can use it to provide clues to the names of earlier generations. Naming customs can also be used to differentiate between two sets of same-name parents having children in the same town\, or to the likelihood of a “missing” child in a family. \n\n\n\n\nHANDOUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe program begins at 7:00pm and socializing starts at 6:30 PM for free genealogy help\, and snacks. Admission is free and guests are always welcome. Learn More \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPresenterBernard is a genealogist and lecturer based in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. He began researching his family over 30 years ago and enjoys sharing lessons learned from that experience\, including his mistakes. Although he knew only one grandparent (his maternal grandfather) he has successfully identified all of his great-great grandparents\, many triple- and quadruple-great grandparents\, and his Meisner 8th great grandparents.
