About this webinar

We will explore how implementing standard research methodology may open up new avenues of discovery to unlock previously “hidden” evidence of female ancestors’ stories. Using reasonably exhaustive research, evidence correlation, analysis proof standard elements and cluster research methodology, we can uncover critical information to help us develop our female ancestors’ stories. Today’s discussion includes two case studies of females born in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. An exploration of sources, beyond census and marriage records, was required to enhance their life stories. One subject was born into an affluent family who settled in north central Tennessee, and the second was enslaved from birth until Emancipation in western Kentucky.

    Another thoughtful presentation. Thank you, Denyce! I really enjoy case studies and I’m very grateful for the tips you provided. I’m starting to focus on women in my research so this was right up my alley. (I always smile when I hear someone’s name from so many years ago. Learning of them in these sessions mean they are never forgotten.)

    Good presentation and excellent use of case studies to illustrate the principles involved in female ancestor research where enslavement records was critical to this research.

    Denyce, thank you for your very interesting and informative presentation and syllabus. It has reminded me to remember that I can use the FAN Club “cluster” research strategy in situations where source documentation is scarce.
