The International Society for British Genealogy and Family History’s winter program continues into the new year with the free webinar, Genealogy Without Borders, presented by Chris Paton on Saturday, January 4, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.
As family historians, we can be tempted to try to tell the stories of our ancestors solely from their sources in the areas where they once lived, but in this talk, genealogist Chris Paton examines why the consideration of the extended family around the world can be particularly fruitful for your family history research also. As part of a wider worldwide diaspora, Chris will show how emigrant family members provided him with clues to their stories overseas, often with records that plugged the missing gaps in research for family members back home, and giving him a much broader understanding of his family at both home and abroad.
