About this webinar
“Identity theft” happens easily with common-name families. This session uses two case studies from two different societies—a Jones family from the Northern U.S. and a Smith family from the South—to demonstrate how to work safely with common-name families. The first ten minutes ground the audience in four problem-solving models. On that foundation, Mills then walks her class through sources and strategies that are often overlooked amid today’s reliance upon database searches, provider hints, and crowd-sourcing.
*** This class requires an active webinar membership to attend. ***

Excellent presentation. This is my second time listening and I'm sure it's not my last. Great Job. Thank you!
Excellent presentation!
Great presentation. My grandmother was born in Lukin Township. After the webinar I dug around in the Land Patents and I believe some of my ancestors were neighbors of your Jones and Witter families.
Thank you so much for another amazing webinar
