DESCRIPTION:Register:  Online  |  Mail Form  |  Help \nWe are very excited to be welcoming Dr. Michael Lacopo who will be presenting a one-day series of lectures titled ‘Thinking\, Assessing\, & Storytelling: Genealogy Beyond Birth\, Marriage\, & Death’. \nDr. Lacopo (a retired Veterinarian) has emerged as a highly regarded and sought after speaker on a wide range of genealogy topics. He has appeared at many national and regional events: This will be his first appearance in North Texas. \n  \nLecture Topics: \n\nShe Came From Nowhere – A Case Study Approach To Difficult Genealogical Problems\nDeconstructing Your Family Tree – Re-Evaluating The ‘Evidence’\nIncorporating Social History Into Your Research\nMedical Genealogy: A Primer Of Diseases That Killed Our Ancestors And The Epidemics They Lived Through\n\nSchedule and Location \nThis event will be held at the Dallas Public Library: J.

Lacopo was born and raised in northern Indiana surrounded by extended family always\nwilling to tell tall tales. Intrigued by his maternal family’s claim to be kinfolk of Abraham Lincoln\, and\nhis paternal family’s stories of murder and mayhem\, he took to genealogical research in 1980 to\nsubstantiate these family stories. \nAlthough a budding genealogist in the 1980s\, Michael completed his doctorate in veterinary medicine in\n1991\, while still spending time honing his research skills. As befitting a doctor\, Michael treats his\ngenealogical research as he would medicine – carefully\, methodically and completely. In 2013\, Michael\nretired from his medical career to pursue genealogical research full-time as a profession. He has\ncontributed to numerous periodicals and has helped numerous people in their quests to locate their\nrelatives – living and dead. \nMichael’s interests and strengths include Mennonite research\, German and Swiss research\, especially as it\npertains to the 18th century immigration to America\, among many other topics. Having ancestors from\nmany geographic locales as well as immigrants spanning the 17th century to the 20th century\, Michael\nhas a wide variety of proficiencies. He believes that as genealogists we should tell the tales or our\nancestors and is a vocal proponent for learning the social history that interweaves our ancestors into the\nfabric of the past. \nHe has presented lectures and programs at several National Genealogical Society Conferences and\nFederation of Genealogical Society conferences\, as well state genealogical societies\, the Palatines to\nAmerica Conference\, and many local and regional family history meetings. \nRead more about Dr Lacopo’s on his Social Media outlets: \n\nBlog\nFacebook page\nWeb Site\n\nPublicity \n\nPress Release\nFlyer\nTri-Fold Mailer
