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.

Great talk, I just became a webinar member. You offer so many wonderful webinars.
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.)
I enjoyed it and it was very informative
Very professionally done. I wish I were that thorough!
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.
I love webinars where new techniques and sources are covered in actual case studies. Thanks for this one.
Awesome presentation. Love the way she took us methodically through her research process. Learned a lot.
