Locating Your Ancestor in Place and Time
Discover essential records and substitute sources to trace your ancestors’ lives, even when key documents are missing.
About this course
Tracing your ancestors through historical records is the key to understanding their lives, but gaps in documentation can present challenges. This interactive workshop with Annette Burke Lyttle will equip you with the skills to locate and interpret vital records, census returns, and a range of substitute sources that provide essential information about your family’s past. Across three engaging sessions, you’ll learn how to maximise the value of these records and discover alternative strategies when key documents are missing. Whether you’re working with birth, marriage, and death records, early census returns, or church and local histories, this course will guide you in using these resources like an expert.
Who should attend?
This course is ideal for family historians at all experience levels who want to strengthen their research skills and uncover missing details about their ancestors. Whether you’re a beginner looking to understand the fundamentals or an experienced researcher seeking alternative sources for elusive records, this workshop will provide valuable insights. Family historians working with US records, as well as those dealing with gaps in documentation, will particularly benefit from the techniques and strategies covered.
