DPL At Home: Incorporating Oral History into your Genealogy Research
2020-11-24 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | Online Meeting, Dallas, TX, United States
Oral history can dramatically enhance your genealogy research, by offering you information that traditional records may not provide. Not only can it provide you with names, dates, and places, but these narratives can reveal motives for migration, explanations of brief marriages, or descriptions of an ancestor’s personality. Learn how to locate oral histories and how to use them to tell a more in-depth story of your family’s history.
More information and Registration available on the Dallas Public Library Website

Discover the real reason the roll was created, how the enrollment was conducted, and how to determine if your ancestor was enrolled.

DPL at Home: Mysterious Relatives (Virtual Event)
2020-10-27 14:00 - 15:00 | Online Meeting, Dallas, TX, United States
Every genealogist has that mysterious relative – the ubiquitous ‘cousin’ who was always around with no obvious family connection. As genealogy researchers, we cannot figure out who this person is and how they are related to our family. Finding mysterious relatives on a census record; an entry in a family bible; or old letters can yield invaluable insight into a family’s genealogy. Learn how to analyze and connect these mysterious relatives to your family history using census and vital records, newspapers, maps, etc.; contextual clues; “FAN club” methodology; and more.
