Your ancestors didn’t live and have experiences alone. Researching collateral lines may be the secret sauce you need to find clues that will answer genealogy questions. What is Collateral Research? Research of family members you are not a descendant of.

Wonderful ideas on how to research collateral relationships. I am hoping that researching will find where and when my elusive 2nd great grandparents died and also where my 3rd great grandfather was born.
I loved the Webinar. Cheri researches just like I do…looking for everyone in the family and extended family and seeking out the stories. I have spent a pleasant time listening and hearing certain terms defined like Now Wife and the difference between Kith and Kin, etc. I look forward to hearing from Cheri again.
Excellent presentation! I always felt like I was going down trails I shouldn’t be going down when looking at aunts, uncles, siblings, etc. records but have learned so much about my family. Thank you for helping me realize I wasn’t wasting my time!
Cheri made me remember and reignited my interest in collateral ancestors. I’m not sure where it will take me but if I don’t do it, I’ll never know. Fantastic information that needs to be listened to over and over again! Glad I have a membership!!!
Deconstructing a Conflicted Census Enumeration: Carrie Peterson aka Clara Moore
Census enumerations offer invaluable snapshots of families, but like any record, can lead researchers astray. Names may be mangled, ages fudged, or individuals or families be enumerated twice – or not at all. This entertaining presentation follows a Norwegian immigrant family forward and backward in time to untangle the makeup of a 1910 Minnesota family.

Genealogists are famous for their brick walls. However, many of the things we call “brick walls” are more likely the result of some common errors, such as relying too heavily on the Internet, not reviewing original sources and focusing too closely on only the person or couple of interest. These…

Learn why researching those in-laws, “shirt-tail cousins” and others who may not be a direct-line ancestor as well as “friends, neighbors and associates” can help you break down your genealogy research brick walls.

We identify ways that researchers have built their own "brick wall" through inexperience, lack of organization, and incorrect assumptions. We discuss how to resolve these issues and the speaker will share her own growing pains as a budding genealogist.
