Vertical Files, led by Barb Gardner Your ancestor's local library or historical center
may hold a treasure of offline information. Many places collect donations
from the public and store it in (vertical) file drawers. Ask for your local
ancestors surnames, city information, churches, businesses and you may get a
selection of valuable documents to fill in research gaps.
Research Options Prior to 1850, led by Gail Lewis Many documents prior to 1850 that were in existence may
now be lost or destroyed. The censuses only gave us head–of–households,
grave markers are old and many unreadable or even buried. So what records are still
available and where can I find them? We will discuss ideas and discover what files we can find.
Using AI to Enhance Your Research, led by Bobski Masson Let's explore how AI or Artificial Intelligence can help streamline
your research process — organizing data, searching historical records, analyzing
DNA results, and highlighting patterns you might miss. AI
tools can offer fresh insights and make your genealogy work more efficient.
LGS Listening Station, led by Margaret Lindblom LGS wants to enhance your genealogy journey and have some fun.
