“Build a Better Family Tree with Brick & Mortar Research” – By Michelle Spencer
Presentation
Most of us chase our ancestors through census lines, vital records, and the usual paper
trail, but their work lives often hold the missing clues. By exploring a family business,
trade, or industry, you can open new doors when traditional research hits a dead end.
This lecture shows you how to look at familiar sources in fresh ways and introduces
underused records that reveal the professional worlds your ancestors inhabited. You'll
walk away with new strategies, new resources, and a stronger, more three-dimensional
family tree.
