My husband and I just got back from a trip to New England, Boston up to Maine and on the way back we stopped in New Hampshire and viewed my husband's GGGGGgrandfather's grave in Hollis. Then found a bunch more in Dunstable. This is just serendipity that this webinar appeared!! Can't wait to get started digging!!
Terrific presentation with insightful ideas into available resources!
What a great overview of New England records and where to find them. The examples reinforced why we must locate the original record and not rely on secondary records such as indexes, abstracts, and transcriptions.
Good tips on the life of records.
I have a new speaker that I am a fan of. She was so easy to follow and understand. Great ideas on how to look at what you have and drill down to the original, always. Really opened my eyes to things you might pass by that are really hints to dig deeper.
Excellent and very informative webinar!! Love to learn more!
