“19th Century America – Cultural Changes and Their Effects on Records” By – Sylvia Tracy-Doolos

Presentation: 

America in the 19th century saw geographic, cultural, and historical changes that affected the records that were created.

While this was true for all Americans, it was especially true for women, African-Americans, and immigrants. We’ll take a broad look at the 19th century to understand these changes.

She is a member and officer of the Colorado Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the International Society of British Genealogy and Family History (ISBGFH), and Wales, Ireland, Scotland, England Family History Society (WISE), plus a member of APG, CGS, NGS, VGS, and others. She has a BA in History with a minor focusing on linguistics to better understand the role of language change and its effect on record keeping.
