Honoring Your Shamrocks: Irish and Scots-Irish Research – Spend the day with Irish research experts Fintan Mullan and Gillian Hunt, all the way from Belfast.
There’s more to our ancestors and relatives’ final resting places than just the words on the headstone. Headstone symbols, cemetery location, and the section of the cemetery can all tell us more about the life of an ancestor or relative. Burial societies existed to support communities through the death and burial process; fraternal organizations also often provided support after a death. Learn more about the clues lurking beneath the surface.
The Periodical Source Index (PERSI) is the premier subject index for genealogy and local history periodicals and is searchable by name, locality and subject. In 2022, the PERSI database moved and is now FREE and indexed through Allen County Public Library’s world-class Genealogy Center. Learn how to search this family history treasure trove and how it can enhance your genealogy research.
Learn to develop and follow a research plan, keep a research log, cite your sources, and write up your conclusion. You’ll be amazed how this can improve you efficiency and effectiveness.
