Very informative. Learned something – multiple places to look depending on the time frame
Excellent info and presentation
I got a few good tips, but I am researching my 3x GG born September 7, 1792 in Barre, VT. Finally, I have found his date of birth, but I can’t find his parents. He is very famous in the town of Burlington, VT as an adult.
Excellent webinar
Lisa brings awareness of an integral skill to our research pursuits. Her sensitivity to minute details within records, including blank spaces, is a cautionary note to not overlook hidden keys that could lead to information about our ancestors. Lisa is a complement to the journey of creating an accurate picture of family histories.
Very good. Lisa is an excellent speaker. Easy to understand.
Excellent review of possible places to look. I need to substantiate a birth in Arkansas in 1882 for a rural family. I’ve searched most of the places mentioned and have the date from her tombstone, but no other written documentation of place of birth or parent’s names. Ah well, the hunt goes on!
Great steps to use in case you can’t get a birth certificate.
