Martin, Durand et Compagnie : Les noms de familles et comment les utiliser en généalogie
Tue, June 20 2023: 12:00 UTC
Martin, Duchâteau, De Rouen ou Lepetit, qu’il soit rare ou très commun, qui n’a jamais rêvé de se pencher sur l’origine de son nom de famille ? Mais si les noms de famille tendent à disparaitre quantitativement, l’étude des patronymes familiaux permet parfois de débloquer des recherches coincées depuis longtemps. A base d’exemples concrets, ce webinaire étudiera les différentes catégories de noms de famille mais également comment bien utiliser les différentes fonctionnalités MyHeritage au regard d’une étude de patronyme. Le webinaire abordera également comment faire lorsque cela coince dans vos recherches pour permettre d’élargir celles-ci à l’aide de ces si passionnants patronymes.

Samuel Witter vs. Samuel Witter: Separating Same Name Men, War of 1812
Online research today is immensely rewarding. Major genealogical data sites and software perform automatic searches for us and suggest documents bearing the names of people we are pursuing. However, every document we collect presents an identity issue we have to resolve before we can validly use it to build our family tree. This presentation demonstrates why, using three men named Samuel Witter whose descendants have all claimed for him the same War of 1812 service. As Mills separates the three Samuels, she explores the standards that govern our development of evidence, the Congressional laws that must guide our decisions, and the strategies needed to differentiate between men and correctly assign military service. *** This class requires an active webinar membership to attend. ***

Your 19th & 20th Century Mexican Ancestors in the U.S.
Historical records and social history paint a rich picture of the lives of our Mexican ancestors who were in the U.S. after the mid-19th century. A new border, new laws, a violent revolution, two world wars, and changing economic and political conditions significantly impacted your Mexican ancestors who came to or were born in the United States. Sharing a border, and sharing a long common history in certain regions of the U.S. has presented situations unique to those of Mexican descent compared to other immigrant and ethnic groups.
