About this webinar

County histories bring rich possibilities to our research through biographical and historical sketches. They provide an abundance of FAN Club members and research clues. We will examine county histories through the use of a case study. Beginning with a research questions, we will examine the methodology of the FAN Club and make some breakthroughs in the research using county history sketches. This program will also discuss where researchers can go to find county histories for their own research.

    Great webinar!

    Hadn’t looked at these before so great introduction.

    I know all about county histories, but only rarely use them. This was a great webinar because it reminded me to use county histories more and pointed out just how helpful they can be on so many levels. Thanks.

    I liked her pace and concise presentation. I wish that she could have talked about how to find family members who may not be n the index instead of having to read the book completely.

    I love county histories. Great ideas on where to find them.

    I must watch again. She gave out a lot of good information. I plan to look at her other lectures in the library.

    I use County Histories all the time – very useful

    I wondered how Cari would spend an entire hour talking about county histories. I’m glad she emphasized using them as clues and finding supporting evidence.

    Interesting and enjoyable

    IT WAS GREAT!

    lots of good information and tips.

    Lots of new (to me) ideas. Thanks Cari.

    Nice to have this subject presented.

    Now, I need to find those county histories for my family.

    One of the best! Everyone who does research should listen to this webinar.

    One of the best. I really enjoyed listening to this presenter and look forward to checking out her other webinars. Thanks again for providing such great value.

    Presentation was very well done, with considerable helpful information of where to look for reliable documents to give proof to clues found in biographical sketches.
