Session 1: Gone for a Soldier: Military Records of Georgia and the Old Southeast 1783-1761
Many of our military conflicts have been forgotten between the Revolution and the Civil War. The Southeastern U.S. is particularly rich in documenting individuals in these campaigns and in providing personal information for family history research. |
Session 3: People Finders in the Southeast
Understand records that help identify ancestors in specific places at specific times. Examples include: census records, court records, and land records. |
Session 2: Great Archives and Libraries of the Southeast
Hear Robert Davis' personal experiences in the greatest libraries and archives in the Southeastern for family history research, including tips on efficient use of time and resources, before during and after your visit. |
Session 4: Fraud and the Family Fortune
This light-hearted talk exposes a colorful history of false and misguided tales of fortunes waiting to be claimed. It will show the pitfalls of wasting time on such ventures but will also examine how such records can still have genealogical value if used with caution. This will include records of Native American claims. |
