Legacy Family Tree Webinars will host the Board for Certification of Genealogists-sponsored free webinar, Proving Identity and Kinship Using the GPS: Finding a Freedman’s Family, delivered by Nancy A. Peters, CG, CGL, today at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Facing identity and kinship problems? Confused by multiple, same-named men? Learn how applying the Genealogical Proof Standard resolved similar challenges in the search for a freedman’s family. A case example traces a South Carolina family of color, differentiates multiple men of similar profiles who lived in the same time and place, resolves conflicting evidence, identifies a freedman’s last slave owner, and ultimately finds his enslaved birth family. The methodology and record types apply to reconstructing all families.
Register here to watch the live webinar. A recording will likely be available in the webinar library to watch for free for up to seven days afterward.
Still available for free in the webinar library for a couple of days is That’s New to Me: Unfamiliar Websites for Your Genealogy, delivered by Gena Philibert-Ortega.
