We will look at seven types of records family historians rarely use: police records\, criminal court records\, jail records\, coroner’s records\, church disciplinary records\, divorce records and juvenile reformatory records. Whether your ancestors were lawbreakers or law enforcers\, these records can dramatically enrich your family history with depth\, context\, and vivid storytelling.

The session aims to demystify the complex terminology and provide practical insights into how haplogroups can be used in genetic genealogy and guide participants to find their own haplogroup.

So much so that they grab a quick copy\, download it to default folders\, and move on to the next item without thoroughly exploring the source first. All too often we don’t take the time to evaluate the source\, to write the citation(s) for the source\, or to file it in the correct spot. We have to slow down and take the time to think\, to file\, and to create notes about the source that make it easy to find that source again if needed. Doing this keeps our research more organized\, but also keeps our research brain tidy as well. We are much more productive when we can easily put our hands on what we’ve found in the past. We will explore different options for accomplishing all of these important steps.

DESCRIPTION:We will hear a discussion of the myths and assumptions perpetuated through the decades concerning Scotland had its history. This presentation is absolutely essential to renew a journey of re-examining much of what has been family “lore” of our Scottish beginnings. References and hints/tips will help us get closer to the facts\, and to displace assumptions/errors made by so many so-called “experts in the past.
