Genealogist and geologist Wayne Shepheard from British Columbia has created a new version of his signature talk about Genealogy and the Little Ice Age that is available on Legacy Family Tree Webinars. It is free to watch until September 5. Legacy Family Tree Webinars members will continue to have access to it after Thursday.
Mr. Shepheard re-recorded the presentation that he originally delivered in 2018 and added information on some topics. One part of the presentation is about the weather that caused the Great Famine and another is about disease and epidemics, such as the Black Death.
Here’s a snippet from the webinar description:
Because the Little Ice Age is the time frame that most coincides with genealogical research, it is important to understand the physical conditions under which people lived in order to assemble the most complete histories of families.
This presentation will hopefully bring perspective to the study of the generations of families who lived through the time of the Little Ice Age.
