A one place study explores an ancestral place in depth by studying the history, the environment, and the people of a place over time. Learn practical strategies for conducting your own OPS and how it helps you meet the Genealogy Standards. See how the assembled information can add rich context to your ancestors’ lives, fill gaps where records are lacking, and uncover forgotten connections within a community.

I will be in Jan Joyce’s GRIP Merging & Separating Identity Course next week. This webinar served as an excellent warm up for strategies to help me separate some same named men from each other
Being in the middle of a one place study I was so happy to find this extremly helpful guide. I enjoyed it, found validation in what I have been doing, and helpful tools to continue. Thank you so much Denise
I’ve been thinking of doing a One Place Study of a small cemetery where some known ancestors are buried beside others with the same or familiar names in my genealogy. I’d like to know if and how they could be related. I think I know how to go about it now thanks to this very informative webinar!
After this One Place Study webinar by Denise Cross, I feel inspired to improve the OPS I had inadvertently started years ago, by adding more research components and perhaps even submit it to the the Society. Thank you Denise Cross, I’ll watch your webinar again to follow your wise advise!
Denise was an excellent speaker, very knowledgeable about the topic and made it very interesting. I have thought about this for a long time regarding Guilford County North Carolina and I think this may have been the push I needed. Thank you I have always enjoyed my membership and being able to watch or rewatch webinars in your library
I wanted to hear this webinar as I thought it would help with my brick wall on my grandmother. So, I’ll take a shot at it. Thanks for all the information, which gave me many ways to investigate the area my grandmother was raised in.
One Place Studies appear to be a valuable technique for identifying the FAN club.
Presenter was very knowledgeable and has a great presentation style. Although this is much more advanced than my current skills levels, there was a lot of takeaways that can help me in my current research. Thank you.
